289. Study War No More

1 Goin’ to lay down my sword an’ shield
Down by the riverside,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside;
Goin’ to lay down my sword an’ shield
Down by the riverside,

Refrain:
Ain’t going’ study war no more
I ain’t goin’ study war no more,
Ain’t goin’ study war no more,
Ain’t goin’ study war no more.
I ain’t goin’ study war no more,
Ain’t goin’ study war no more,
Ain’t goin’ study war no more.

2 Goin’ to put on my long white robe
Down by the riverside,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside;
Goin’ to put on my long white robe
Down by the riverside, [Refrain]

3 Goin’ to talk with the Prince of Peace
Down by the riverside,
down by the riverside,
down by the riverside;
Goin’ to talk with the Prince of Peace
Down by the riverside, [Refrain]

Amen.
