10184. I Aint Gwine Study War No More

1 Gwine to lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside;
Gwine to lay down my burden,
Down by the riverside,
To study war no more.

Refrain:
I aint gwine study war no more,
Aint gwine study war no more,
Aint gwine study war no more;
Aint gwine study war no more,
Aint gwine study war no more,
Aint gwine study war no more!

2 Gwine to lay down my sword an’ shiel’,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside;
Gwine to lay down my sword an’ shiel’
Down by the riverside,
To study war no more. [Refrain]

3 Gwine to try on my long white robe,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside;
Gwine to try on my long white robe,
Down by the riverside,
To study war no more. [Refrain]

4 Gwine to try on my starry crown,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside;
Gwine to try on my starry crown,
Down by the riverside,
To study war no more. [Refrain]
