War no mo', Lord, war no mo'!
I'm goin' to study
I'm goin' to lay down my burdens
Down by the river side.
Goin' to ride with my Jesus, oh Lord!
War no mo'!
Goin' to lay down my s'ord and shield
Down by the river side.
Ain't goin' to war no mo'
Down by the river side
Goin' to ride on a milk-white horse, by the river side
Goin' to wear a starry crown, by the river side
Goin' to ride with my, King Jesus, by the river side
No war, no mo'!
