Full Lyrics
As I went down in the valley to pray, studyin' about that heav'nly day,
when you shall wear the starry crown, Good Lord, show me the way.
Oh, mourners, let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
Oh, mourners, let's go down, down in the valley to pray.
As I went down in the valley to pray, studying' about that good old way,
and who shall wear the wings and crown, Good Lord, show me the way.
Oh, sisters, let's go down, hand in hand, let's go down,
Oh, sisters, let's go down, down in the valley to pray.
As I went down in the valley to pray, studying' about that good old way!
And would you wear His robe and crown? Good Lord, show me the way.
Oh, brothers, let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
Oh, brothers, let's go down, down in the valley to pray.
Down, down, Oh let's go down, Good Lord, show me the way...
As I went down, down to the valley, green swaying' trees, show me the way.
As I went down in the valley to pray, studyin' about that good old way,
and you shall wear that starry crown, Good Lord, show me the way.
Oh, sinners, let's go down, let's go down, let's go down,
Oh, sinners, let's go down, down in the valley to pray!
