Kende het nummer al, maar hoorde het voorbij komen in de kortelings opgenomen show van Bert Visscher. Gospel die je keer op keer wilt beluisteren. Er zijn tal van versies te vinden op internet/YouTube, maar deze vind ik wel mooi. De 5-mans a capella groep Voice Mail (2x bas, bartiton, tenor, hoge tenor) uit het Amerikaanse Utah. Zet je boxen goed open en geniet. Prettig weekeinde!
Hier is de tekst:
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O sisters let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O sisters let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O brothers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O fathers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O fathers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O mothers let’s go down,
Let’s go down, don’t you want to go down,
Come on mothers let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
O sinners let’s go down,
Let’s go down, come on down,
O sinners let’s go down,
Down in the river to pray.
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !
