Down By The Riverside


(Public Domain)





I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
I'm gonna study war no more


* I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more
I ain't a gonna study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more


Well, I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the riverside (Oh)
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna put on my long white robe, (Where?) down by the riverside
I'm gonna study war no more


* Repeat


Well, I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (Where?) down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield, (A-ha) down by the riverside
I'm gonna study war no more


* Repeat


* Down By The Riverside And When The Saints Come Marching In
(Giant / Baum / Kaye)
(Recorded for the film "Frankie And Johnny")


Let's snap our fingers clap our hands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's give 'em what the song demands
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside


We'll hear them playing keep that beat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Let's get together what a treat
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside


Strike up the band, start the parade (down by the riverside)
Don't let that grand old rhythm fade (down by the riverside)
Just play that drum, play that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marchin' in


Shake tambourines, play that cornet (down by the riverside)
Crank up that horn you won't forget (down by the riverside)
Your heart will hum to that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marchin' in


The cymbals clang, just pound that beat (down by the riverside)
Sounds like a hundred marching feet (down by the riverside)
It's fun to join in that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marchin' in


See banners wave, oh hear that ring (down by the riverside)
We all feel prouder than a king (down by the riverside)
'Cos everyone, everyone loves that number (down by the riverside)
When the saints come marchin' in
