Down To The River To Pray
  (Riverboat 1457)   Dean Black
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
As I went down to the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the *Starry Crown
Good Lord show me the way

4 ladies chain, Oh, **Sisters, let's go down
You chain 'em back and promenade around
Oh **Sisters let's go down
Down to the river and pray


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Crown and Robe ; *Thorny Crown

**Mothers ; **Fathers ; **Brothers ; **Sinners

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru
With the outside two make a right hand star
Heads (Sides) star left, one time and then
To the same two go right & left thru
Swing thru and then, swing thru again
Boys run right and promenade my friend
Oh **Brothers let's go down
Down to the river and pray


TAG

Let's go down to the river and pray
