| And
Study War No More
1.
Gonna lay down my sword & shield down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword & shield down by the riverside
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
2.
Gonna put on that long white robe
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
3.
Gonna put on that starry crown
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
4.
Gonna walk with the Prince of Peace
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
5.
Gonna shake hands around the world
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
6.
Gonna lay down those atom bombs
And study war no more
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
Gonna lay down my income tax
I ain’t a-gonna study war no more
Gonna lay down my GE stock
& live off war no more
Gonna lay down my Honeywell job
& work for war no more
Gonna ….. those Congressional hawks
& vote for war no more
