lyrics:
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
study war no more

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
study war no more

chorus:
i aint gonna study war no more
I aint gonna study war no more
i aint gonna study war no more
i aint gonna study war no more
I aint gonna study war no more
i aint gonna study war no more

i'm gonna shake hands all around the world
down by the riverside
down by the riverside
down by the riverside
i'm gonna shake hands all around the world
down by the riverside
study war no more

[chorus]
