[Verse 1]
I'm gonna lay down my burden down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more
[Chorus]
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more (Study war no more)
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more
[Verse 2]
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
Gonna study war no more
[Chorus]
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more (Study war no more)
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna put on my long white robe down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna put on my long white robe down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more
[Chorus]
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more (Study war no more)
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more
[Verse 4]
I'm gonna put on my starry crown down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna put on my starry crown down by the riverside
Gonna study war no more
[Chorus]
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Study war no more (Study war no more)
I ain't gonna study war no more, study war no more
Gonna study war no more
