Gonna lay down my burden 
Down by the river side
Down by the river side 
Down by the river side

Ain't gonna study war no more
Study war no more
Study war no more
Ain't gonna study war no more
Study war no more
Study war no more

I'm gonna lay down 
My sword and shield
Down by the river side
Down by the river side
Down by the river side
Ain't gonna study war no more

I'm gonna stick my sword
In the golden sand
Gonna puton my long white robe
Gonna put on my starry crown
Gonna put on my golden shoes
Gonna ride on my my milky
white horse
Gonna talk with 
the Prince of peace
gonna shake hands around the world
