[I’m gonna lay down my burden]]
Down by the riverside
to study war no more.

2. Goin’ to lay down my sword and shield,
Down by the riverside
to study war no more.
3. Goin’ to try on my long white robe,
Down by the riverside
to study war no more.
4. Goin’ to try on my starry crown,
Down by the riverside
to study war no more.
