Down to the River to Pray
Alison Krauss

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

O mothers let’s go down,
come on down, don’t you want to go down,
Come on mothers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray

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

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
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

    This is a great song… perfect for a group of friends to just sit around and harmonize to!!

    I know what you mean about military families believing the junk being out there. I HATE the thing about “my husband will just come home safe” because I was active duty during the first Desert Storm. I really don’t want my children to have to go back in 10 or so years!! Let’s just get it done and done right..

    God bless,
    Sallie
