Lyrics

I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield

Down by the riverside 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 war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I'm gonna talk with that Prince of Peace

Down by the riverside down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

I'm gonna talk with that Prince of Peace

Down by the riverside study war no more


I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more


I'm gonna lay down that atom bomb

Down by the riverside down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

I'm gonna lay down that atom bomb

Down by the riverside study war no more


I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more

Ain't gonna study war no more
