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

  O sisters, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O sisters, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  O sisters, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O sisters, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  Down to the river
  Down to the river
  Down to the river to pray

  Down to the river
  Down to the river
  Down to the river to pray

  Down to the river
  Down to the river
  Down to the river to pray

  Down to the river
  Down to the river
  Down to the river to pray

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

  O brothers, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O brothers, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  O brothers, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O brothers, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

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

  O fathers, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O fathers, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  O mothers, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O mothers, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  O sinners, let’s go down
  Let’s go down, come on down
  O sinners, let’s go down
  Down to the river to pray

  O sinners, let’s go down
  O come on down, just as you are
  Come on down
  Down to the river to pray
