I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside,
Hey, down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, study war no more
I ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
I'm gonna try on my long white robe
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna try on my long white robe
Down by the riverside
To study war no more
I ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Gonna meet my lovin' mother
Down by the riverside
Down, down by the riverside
Down, down by the riverside
Gonna meet my lovin' mother
Down by the riverside
To study war no more
I ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study the war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
