Down to the River
Down to the River
Went down to the river.
Woke up in a shiver.
The whole world was spinning,
April 10th.
So I went to my father,
He told me don't you bother.
Said the whole world will be thinkin'
You done it, you done it.
You done it, you done it.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
So I went to the preacher,
Thinkin surely God would teach them
Told the whole world you keep on praying
She done it, she done it.
Then I went to the mayor,
Thinkin' I'd have a prayer.
He said there's no law
'Gainst asking for it.
She done it, she done it.
She done it, she done it.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
So I turned to the governor
Thinking surely he'd be punisher.
He said your body's gonna shut it down.
You shut it, you shut it.
Then I turned to the President
Thinking I was a resident.
That I lived in my own country
But it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
It's gone it's gone it's gone
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
Gather up your people
Build up your own steeple
Make a church of your own believing.
Make your place, in place of asking.
Make your place, in place of asking.
Gather up your people
Build up your own steeple.
Make a church of your own believing.
Make your place, in place of asking.
Make your place, in place of asking.
I done it, I done it, I done it.
Woke up in a shiver.
The whole world was spinning,
April 10th.
So I went to my father,
He told me don't you bother.
Said the whole world will be thinkin'
You done it, you done it.
You done it, you done it.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.
Went down to the river,
Swam along the banks.
Mens was comin' to give me my fate.

Make your place, in place of asking.
Make your place, in place of asking.
Gather up your people

Make a church of your own believing.
Make your place, in place of asking.
Make your place, in place of asking.
I done it, I done it, I done it.
