Is this:

as i went down to the valley ( or river) to pray
worrying about that good old way
and who shall wear the robe and crown (or star and crown)
good lord deliver me.

Oh fathers let's go down
let's go down,
Don'tcha wanna come down
Of fathers let's go down
down in the valley to pray (or down to the river)

repeat, changing the relative:
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers, or adding other characters: (Oh preacher, Oh Christians, Oh People etc)

Chords at their simplest (throw in the odd Bm for variety)

as D went down to the valley to pray
A about that D old G and
D shall wear the robe and crown,
Good A de - G- ver A

A fathers D go down
let's go down
Dontcha G come D
A fathers D go down
G in the valley to A

Or is it some completely different song? in which case Sorry for wasting your time. Hope this helps
