Lyrics
Gonna put my weary burden down
By the riverside, by the riverside, by the riverside
Gonna put my weary burden down
By the riverside, by the riverside, by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Gonna toss away my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside
Gonna toss away my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, to study war no more
I ain’t gonna study war no more …
Gonna be putting on my travelin’ shoes,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside
Gonna be putting on my travelin’ shoes,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna don my white robe tonight
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside
Gonna don my white robe tonight
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside
I ain’t gonna study war no more …
Gonna put on my starry crown …
I ain’t gonna study war no more …
