Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I ain't gonna study war no more,
I ain't gonna study war no more,
Study war no more.
I ain't gonna study war no more,
I ain't gonna study war no more,
Study war no more
Gonna walk with the prince of peace
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna put on my long white robe;
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna put on my long
White robe; down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
