Refrain:
As I went down to the river to pray,
studyin’ about that good old way,
and who shall wear the starry crown,
good Lord, show me the way.
1 Oh, sisters, let’s go down,
let’s go down, come on down.
Oh, sisters, let’s go down,
down to the river to pray. [Refrain]
2 Oh, brothers…
3 Oh, children…
4 Oh, sinners…
