Down to the river to pray Lyrics

Artist: Alison Krauss
Album: Live

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the starry crown good lord show me the way

O sisters letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, letâ‚¬â„¢s go down
Come on down
O sisters letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the robe and crown good lord show me the way

O brothers letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, letâ‚¬â„¢s go down come on down
Come on brothers letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the starry crown good lord show me the way

O fathers letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, letâ‚¬â„¢s go down
Come on down
O fathers letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the robe and crown good lord show me the way

O mothers letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, come on down, don't you want to go down
Come on mother letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the starry crown good lord show me the way

O sinners letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, letâ‚¬â„¢s go down,
Come on down
O sinners letâ‚¬â„¢s go down, down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studyin' about that good ole way and who
Shall wear the robe and crown good lord show me the way

I first heard this song in the movie
O Brother Where Art Thou and loved it. I never did know who sang it or the name of the song until today when searching for ring tones and found it!
I'm HAPPY now :-)
