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

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

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
