I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Ain’t gonna study war no more
Ain’t gonna study war no more
Ain’t gonna study war no more
Ain’t gonna study war no more
Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand;
Gonna put on my long white robe;
Gonna put on my starry crown;
Gonna put on my golden shoes,
Gonna walk with the Prince of Peace.
