I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield

Down by the riverside and study war no more



Down by the riverside I'm gonna lay my burden down

Down by the riverside I'm gonna lay my burden down

Down by the riverside I'm gonna lay my burden down

And I'll 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

I ain't gonna study war no more



Down by the riverside I'm gonna walk with the Prince of Peace

Down by the riverside I'm gonna walk with the Prince of Peace, Hallelujah

Down by the riverside I'm gonna walk with the Prince of Peace

And I'll 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

I ain't gonna study war no more



I'm gonna beat my sword into a cloud down by the riverside

I'm gonna beat my sword into a cloud down by the riverside, yes it is

Beat my sword into a cloud down by the riverside

And I'll 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

I ain't gonna study war no more
