Refrain: I ain't gonna study war no more, I ain't gonna study war no more, Study war no more. I ain't gonna study war no more, I ain't gonna study war no more, Study war no more. Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand; Down By the riverside, Down by the riverside, Down by the riverside, Gonna stick my sword in the golden sand, Down by the riverside; Gonna study war no more. Gonna lay down my sword and shield, (etc.) Gonna put on my long white robe, (etc.) Gonna put on my starry crown, (etc.) Gonna put on my golden shoes, (etc.) Gonna talk with the Prince of Peace, (etc.) Gonna shake hands around the world, (etc.)
