Another amazing family band! How does one family end up with so many good looking and talented siblings?
Watching this made me sad. This is how families are supposed to be.

Down to the River to Pray – The Petersens
1,908,956 views Jul 22, 2022 #ThePetersens #OBrotherWhereArtThou #AlisonKrauss
Emmett and Katie came up with such a beautiful arrangement of “Down to the River to Pray,” a traditional gospel song that Alison Krauss famously recorded for the 2000 movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”. The fun interlude at 1:45 was Katie’s idea.
We try to match our songs to locations and it can take a little while for the song, venue, and lead singer to all come together at the same time! Sometimes we also have to wait for the leaves to return to the Ozarks, the heavy rains to stop, or Julianne to come back from college.

Location: The Ozark Mill at Finley Farms https://finleyfarmsmo.com
The Finley River is such a key part of the water mill’s history and its new life as a dining destination. We crossed the footbridge next to the restaurant (1:36), and filmed this video on a stream that leads to the river.

►LYRICS – Down to 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 brothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O 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 robe and 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 starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way
O mothers, let’s go down
Let’s go down, come on down
O mothers, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
Let’s go down, let’s go down [x4]
As we went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol’ way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show us 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
O brothers, let’s go down
Come on down, don’t you wanna go down?
Come on brothers, let’s go down
Down in the river to pray
Down in the river to pray [x2]
