Down by the Riverside (original) (raw)

Down by the Riverside (auch bekannt als Ain’t Gonna Study War No More und als Gonna Lay Down My Burden) ist ein US-amerikanischer Gospelsong, dessen Ursprünge bis zum amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg zurückzuverfolgen sind und der schon damals als Friedenslied unter dem Titel Gwine-a study war no more nachweisbar ist. Zum Jazzstandard wurde das Traditional in den 1940er- und 1950er-Jahren. (de)
"Down by the Riverside" (also known as "Ain't Gonna Study War No More" and "Gonna lay down my burden") is an African-American spiritual. Its roots date back to before the American Civil War, though it was first published in 1918 in Plantation Melodies: A Collection of Modern, Popular and Old-time Negro-Songs of the Southland, Chicago, the Rodeheaver Company. The song has alternatively been known as "Ain' go'n' to study war no mo'", "Ain't Gwine to Study War No More", "Down by de Ribberside", "Going to Pull My War-Clothes" and "Study war no more". The song was first recorded by the Fisk University jubilee quartet in 1920 (published by Columbia in 1922), and there are at least 14 black gospel recordings before World War II. Because of its pacifistic imagery, "Down by the Riverside" has also been used as an anti-war protest song, especially during the Vietnam War. The song is also included in collections of socialist and labor songs. (en)
