By the River

歌詞

Oh, sisters let's go down, let's go down Won't you come on down? Oh, sisters let's go down Oh, brothers let's go down, let's go down Won't you come on down? Oh, brothers let's 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 let's 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
