Verse 1
As I went down to the river to pray
studying about that good old way
and who shall wear a robe and crown
good Lord show me the way

Chorus
Oh mothers lets go down
lets go down come on down
oh mothers lets go down
down to the river to pray

verse 2
As I went down to the river to pray
studying about that good old way
and who shall wear a robe and crown
good Lord show me the way

chorus 2
Oh Fathers lets go down
lets go down come on down
oh fathers lets go down
down to the river to pray

verse 3
As I went down to the river to pray
studying about that good old way
and who shall wear a robe and crown
good Lord show me the way

chorus 3
Oh sinners lets go down
lets go down come on down
oh sinners lets go down
down to the river to pray

(repeat chorus 3)
