Study War No More (Down by the Riverside) Empty Study War No More (Down by the Riverside)

Post by Hobb Fri 14 Apr 2017 - 12:55



"Down by the Riverside" (also known as "Ain't Gonna Study War No More" and "Gonna lay down my burden") is a Negro spiritual song. Its roots date back to before the American Civil War.  The refrain of "ain't gonna study war no more" is a reference to a quotation found in the Old Testament n Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3:

 "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more"

[WIKIPEDIA]
