A                
As I went down in the river to pray
E                            A
Studying about that good old way
A
And who shall wear the starry crown
     E                 A
Good lord, show me the way

E                   A
O sisters, let's go down
         D             A
Let's go down, come on down
E                   A
O sisters, let's go down,
D                    A
Down in the river to pray
