I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I'm gonna study more, no more
Gonna study more, no more
I'm gonna study more, no more

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my guns and steel
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I'm gonna study more, no more
Gonna study more, no more
I'm gonna study more, no more

I'm gonna study more, no more
Gonna study more, no more
I'm gonna study more, no more

I'm gonna study more
I'm gonna study more
I'm gonna study more
I'm gonna study more

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
