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
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 wanna 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
