1853
I ain't go study war no more
study war no more
ain't go study war no more
I ain't go study war no more
study war no more,
ain't go study oh war no more.
Gonna lay down my burden-----------gonna lay down my sword and shield
down by the riverside down by the riverside down by the riverside
gonna lay down my burden----------gonna lay down my sword and shield
down by the riverside down by the riverside.
Gonna try on my long white robe ---- Gonna try on my starry crown ---- Gonna put on my golden shoes
Gonna talk with the Prince of Peace ---- Gonna shake hands around the world
The song has a long history: some ancestral versions were known in Civil War times.
