Down to the River to Pray Lyrics by The Apex Singers

Stravaig

2022

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and 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 in the river to pray
Studyin' 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 in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' 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
Lеt's go down, come on down
O, fathers, let's go down
Down in thе river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' 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 in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' 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 in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
