CHORUS        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

VERSE           Oh sisters let’s go down

         Let’s go down

         Come on down

         Oh sisters let’s go down

         Down in the river to pray

            CHORUS

            VERSE, replacing sisters with brothers

            CHORUS

            VERSE, replacing brothers with fathers

            CHORUS

            VERSE, replacing fathers with mothers

            CHORUS

            VERSE, replacing mothers with sinners

            CHORUS
