As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the stary crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh fathers let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Oh fathers let’s go down
Down in the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh mothers let’s go down
Come on down don’t you wanna go down
Come on mothers and let’s go down
Down in the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the stary crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Oh brothers let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Come on brothers and let’s go down
Down in the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
Come on sinners and let’s go down
Let’s go down oh, come on down
Come on sinners and let’s go down
Down in the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin’ about that good old way
And who shall wear the stary crown
Good Lord, show me the way
