Lyrics Down to the River to Pray - Charlotte Ritchie

As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear that golden 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
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

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

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