1 Going to lay down my burden,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Going to lay down my burden,
Down by the river side
to study war no more.

Chorus:
I aint goin’t study war no more,
Aint goin’t study war no more,
Aint goin’t study war no more.
Aint goin’t study war no more,
Aint goin’t study war no more,
Aint goin’t study war no more.

2 Going to lay down my sword an' shield,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Going to lay down my sword an' shield,
Down by the river side
to study war no more. [Chorus]

3 Going to try on my long white robe,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Going to try on my long white robe,
Down by the river side
to study war no more. [Chorus]

Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Down by the river side,
Going to try on my starry crown,
Down by the river side
to study war no more. [Chorus]
