Down In The River To Pray

Here's a song that I wanted my mom to learn to sing in church with me. But she says she's too hoarse to sing.

DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY


As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord show me the way.

Oh sisters let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sisters let’s go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord show me the way.

Oh brothers let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Come on brothers lets go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear a starry crown
Good Lord show me the way.

Oh fathers let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh fathers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray.



As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh mothers let’s go down
Come on down, don’t you wanna come down?
Come on mothers let’s go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way.

Oh sinners, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
Oh sinners let’s go down
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way.
