STUDY WAR NO MORE

1.    Goin' to lay down my bur - den, Down by the riv-er-side,
Down by the riv-er-side, Down by the riv-er-side, Goin' to lay down my bur-den, Down by the riv-er-side, to stud-y war no more.

REFRAIN.    I ain't goin' to stud-y war no more, Ain't goin' to stud-y war no more, Ain't goin to stud-y war no more; I ain't goin' to stud-y war no more, Ain't goin' to stud-y war no more, Ain't goin' to stud-y war no more.

2.    Goin' to lay down my sword and shield, Down by the riv-er-side, Down by the riv-er-side, Down by the riv-er-side, Goin' to lay down my sword and shield, Down by the riv-er-side, to stud-y war no more.

REFRAIN

3.    Goin' to talk with the Prince of Peace, Down by the riv-er-side, Down by the riv-er-side, Down by the riv-er-side, Goin' to talk with the Prince of Peace, Down by the riv-er-side, and stud-y war no more.
