Down by the Riverside

1 Goin' to lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside;
Goin' to lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
to study war no more.

Refrain:
I ain’t goin’ to study war no more,
ain’t goin’ to study war no more,
ain’t goin’ to study war no more.
I ain’t goin’ to study war no more,
ain’t goin’ to study war no more,
ain’t goin’ to study war no more.

2 Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside,
to study war no more. [Refrain]

3 Goin’ to try on my long white robe,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Goin’ to try on my long white robe,
Down by the riverside,
to study war no more. [Refrain]

4 Goin’ to try on my starry crown,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Goin’ to try on my starry crown,
Down by the riverside,
to study war no more. [Refrain]
