Down by the River
Oh, sisters lets go down, let's go down
Won't you come on down? Oh, sisters lets go down
Oh, brothers lets go down, let's go down
Won't you come on down? Oh, brothers lets go down
Down by the river to pray
Down by the river we'll pray all day
We'll pray all day till our hearts are changed
Deep in the water we'll bathe all day, down covered by the blood
Till the mud's washed away
And over by the tree we'll sit in the shade,
Reading tiny paper books, as our minds are shaped
Oh, mothers lets go down, let's go down
Won't you come on down? Oh, mothers let's go down
Oh, fathers let's go down, let's go down
Won't you come on down? Oh, fathers let's go down
Down by the river to pray
Oh, sinners let's go down, let's go down
Won't you come on down? Oh, sinners let's go down
A Holiday at the water's edge
With the one raised up from the dead
A Holiday at the water's edge
