Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, lord
Man went down to the river
Went down there for to pray

Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, lord
Man went down to the river
To wash his sins all away

Washed all day, washed all night
Washed till his hands were sore
Washed all day, washed all night
Till he couldn't wash a-no more

Man went down to the river, lord
Man went down to the river
Went down there for to pray

Man went down to the river
Man went down to the river, lord
Man went down to the river
To wash his sins all away
