I went down in the valley to pray
Learnin' about the good old way
And who would wear the starry crown
Oh Lord, show me the way
Oh Brother, let's go down
Come on down, don't you want to go down
Oh Brother, lets go down
Down in the valley to pray
As I went walkin in the valley to pray
Learnin' about the good old way
And who would wear the starry crown
Oh Lord, show me the way
Oh Father, let's go down
Come on down, don't you want to go down
Oh Father, lets go down
Down in the valley to pray
I went out walkin' on the mountain to pray
Learnin' about the good old way
I went up on the mountain and I just had to say
Oh Lord, show me the way
Oh Sister, let's go down
Come on down, don't you want to go down
Oh Sister, lets go down
Down in the valley to pray
As I went down in the valley to pray
Studyin' about the good old way
And who will wear the starry crown
Oh Lord, show me the way
Oh, let's go down
Come on down, don't you want to go down
Oh, let's go down
Down in the valley to pray
