Lyrics
Down By The Riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
I’m gonna wear my long white robe
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I’m gonna wear my long white robe
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
Chorus:
I’m gonna study war no more, study war no more, study war no more.
I’m gonna study war no more, study war no more, study war no more.
Gonna walk with the Prince of Peace
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Maybe He will find those WMDs
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
Gonna lay down and rest awhile
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Think more on substance and less on style
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
(Repeat chorus)
Gonna find a different way to peace
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Than slaughtering all my enemies
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
I’m gonna bring those soldiers home
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Pray for forgiveness for what I’ve done
Down by the riverside, and study war no more
(Repeat chorus)
