Down by the Riverside Songtext
von The Blind Boys of Alabama

I′m gonna lay down my heavy burdens (down by the riverside)
Way down (down by the riverside), way down (down by the riverside)
I'm gonna lay down my heavy burden, down (down by the riverside)
Ain′t gonna study war no more (study war no more)

I ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Oh, I ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study (study war no more) war no more
(Hey, study war no more) study war no more
Ain′t gonna study (study war no more)
Ain't gonna (study war no more) study war no more

I′m gonna put on my long white robe, down (down by the riverside)
Way down (down by the riverside), way down (down by the riverside)
I'm gonna put on my long white robe, down (down by the riverside)
Ain′t gonna study war no more


(Hey, hey, study war no more)
Ain't gon′ (study war no more)
Ain't gonna (study war no more) study about the war no more
Ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study (study war no more)
Ain′t gon' (study war no more) study about the war no more

Put on my golden shoes, down (down by the riverside)
Way down (down by the riverside), way down (down by the riverside)
I′m gonna put on my golden shoes, down (down by the riverside)
Ain't gonna study war no more

(Hey, hey, study war no more)
Ain′t gon' (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study (study war no more) war no more
Study (study war no more)
Ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Ain't gonna study (study war no more) war no more

Ain′t gon′ (study war no more)
Ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study (study war no more) war no more
Study (study war no more)
Ain't gonna study (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study war no more
Study war no more
Ain't gonna (study war no more)
Ain′t gonna study war no more (study war no more)


(Hey, hey, study war no more)
Study war no more
Ain't gon' (study war no more) study about the war no more
Ain′t gon′ (study war no more) study about the war no more
Ain't gonna study (study war no more) war no more
