Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield (Down by the riverside)
(I'm goin' down by the riverside, down by the riverside)
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield (Down by the riverside)
I'm gonna study war no, no more
[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load (Down by the riverside)
(I'm goin' down by the riverside, down by the riverside)
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load (Down by the riverside)
Ain't gonna study war no more
[Verse 4]
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
[Verse 5]
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
[Verse 6]
Yes, lay down, cares and woes (Down by the riverside)
(Down by the riverside, down by the riverside)
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load (Down by the riverside)
(Gonna study war no more) No more
