about

Traditional Civil-War era American gospel song, re-arranged by us. Artist unknown, yet appreciated. Sister Rosetta Tharpe does a much better version than we do. Look it up on YouTube and buy her records if you find them. First published in the American Songbag by Carl Sandburg in 1927, though it's much older than that. McDonald's also stole the melody and phrasing for an ad campiegn in the 60's with 'McDonald's Is My Kind Of Place.' Isn't advertising great? We will take the songs of your God and use them to sell you cheeseburgers!

lyrics

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

Ain't gonna study war no more

Gonna leave all my sin and shame
Down by the riverside

I ain't gonna study war no more

I'm gonna talk with the Prince of Peace
Down by the riverside

Ain't gonna study war no more
