Down by the riverside

1. 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,
Down by the riverside.

I ain’t gonna study war no more,
I ain’t gonna study war no more,
I ain’t gonna study war no more.
(Repeat)

  1. I’m gonna talk with the Prince of peace,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    I’m gonna talk with the Prince of peace,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside.

Chorus

  1. I’m gonna shake hands with everyone,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    I’m gonna shake hands with everyone,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside.

Chorus

  1. I’m gonna walk with my friends in peace,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside,
    I’m gonna walk with my friends in peace,
    Down by the riverside,
    Down by the riverside.
