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 ol’ 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 ol’ 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 ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way
O mothers, let’s go down
Come on down, don’t you wanna 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 ol’ 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 ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way

If you like Bluegrass music and an amusing story. Oh Brother Where Art Thou, is a great watch. Alison Crouse and Union Station her band did a lot of the music for the film.

One of the sweetest, purest voices I’ve ever heard. Just beautiful.

Yes and very funny. I didn’t read Homer’s book but enjoyed the the film version enormously. Dan Tamisksi(sp) did the song man of constant sorrow, he’s a member of union station and Ralph Stanley did OH Death. Like I said, if you like Bluegrass music the show is enjoyable on a couple of fronts. Regards.

Actually, although there’s a lot of parody in the movie there’s a pretty good rendition of the song in it.

I was at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano TX a few years ago when Michael W. Smith came and performed this great old gospel song along with the massive choir there. It was truly inspiring. This is a video of him rehearsing that song for a concert at the Kennedy Center.

Enjoy visiting the Hillbilly Kitchen from week to week.
Celebrating Appalachia is another interesting site.
