Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - Gonna Lay My Body Down lyrics

I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, Hey, down by the riverside, down by the riverside, I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, down by the riverside, study war no more I ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more I'm gonna try on my long white robe Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Down by the riverside Gonna try on my long white robe Down by the riverside To study war no more I ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more Gonna meet my lovin' mother Down by the riverside Down, down by the riverside Down, down by the riverside Gonna meet my lovin' mother Down by the riverside To study war no more I ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study the war no more Ain't gonna study war no more
