studyin’ about that good old way,
and who shall wear the starry crown,
good Lord, show me the way. [chorus]

let’s go down, come on down.
Oh, sisters, let’s go down,
down to the river to pray. [chorus]
2 Oh, brothers, let’s go down,
let’s go down, come on down.
Oh, brothers, let’s go down,
down to the river to pray. [chorus]
Oh, children, let’s go down,
let’s go down, come on down.
Oh, children, let’s go down,
down to the river to pray. [chorus]

let’s go down, come on down.
Oh, sinners, let’s go down,
down to the river to pray. [chorus]
