Smokey River Boys – Down To The River To Pray lyrics
[Cho] As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!

[1] O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

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

[2] O brothers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

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

[3] O fathers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O fathers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

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

[4] O mothers let's go down,
Let's go down, don't you want to go down,
Come on mothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

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

[5] O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

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