I Went Down in the Valley

1 O brothers let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
O brothers let's go down, down in the valley to pray.

Refrain:
As I went down in the valley to pray,
Studying about that good old way.
O who shall wear the starry crown,
Good Lord, show me the way,
As I went down in the valley to pray,
Studying about that good old way.
O who shall wear the starry crown,
Good Lord, show me the way.

2 O sisters let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
O sisters let's go down, down in the valley to pray. [Refrain]

3 O children let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
O children let's go down, down in the valley to pray. [Refrain]

4 O preachers let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
O preachers let's go down, down in the valley to pray. [Refrain]

5 By-an'-by we'll all go down, all go down, all go down,
By-an'-by we'll all go down, down in the valley to pray. [Refrain]
