Down to the River to Pray

"As I went down in the river to pray, slipped in the mud and lost my way. Found a bag of chips and half a twix, thank you Lord for this day. Ohhhh honey I've been down, bread bag shoes and a Burger King Crown. Ohhhh honey I've been down and down is where I think I'm gonna stay!"

-Hettie Mae Boggs

I heard this little jingle so many times on The Simpsons that I actually had to look up if it was a real song and it is! It is a gospel song apparently and it is sang by Alison Krauss.

Oh wow! I didn't know that.

Yeah the words are different in the gospel version though.
