"Down by the Riverside" is also known as "Ain't Gonna Study War No More." It's a spiritual that goes back to the Civil War era, and it's been performed in churches, civil rights marches, and some folk concerts. The most well-known lyric is "ain't gonna study war no more," which is repeated frequently and is meant to be sung by a large group. I chose it because I like how basic the song is while still conveying such a powerful message of peace and hope.
