Also known as "Down to the River to Pray," "The Good Old Way" and "Come, Let us All Go Down," this song goes back to the days of slavery, and was later popularised by The Jubilee Singers.

Other performers who have recorded it include Lead Belly, Sarah Ogan Gunning (1974), Doc Watson and Arlo Guthrie. The song had a big revival when Alison Krauss's recording was used in the soundtrack of the movie "O, Brother Where Art Thou?"

I recorded this in New Norfolk, Tasmania, with my sister Annette, her husband, Richard, and my wife, Yoong.
