Peace Camp women at the Main Gate of Seneca Army Depot, August 17, 1983. 


Down by Seneca
*Sung to the tune of "Down by the Riverside"

Gonna lay down my burden
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca, down by Seneca
Gonna lay down my burden
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca.

Chorus:
We ain't gonna study war no more, we ain't gonna study war no more,
We ain't gonna study war no, study war no more.
We ain't gonna study war no more, we ain't gonna study war no more,
We ain't gonna study war no more.

Gonna get rid of those nuclear bombs
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca, down by Seneca
Gonna get rid of those nuclear bombs
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca.

Gonna sing like a snow white dove
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca, down by Seneca
Gonna sing like a snow white dove
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca.

We're all gonna live in peace
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca, down by Seneca
We're all gonna live in peace
Down by Seneca, down by Seneca.

  2. Inspiring. I so admire what the women did in their creatively peaceful ways. I am intrigued by this and every video. AND, that song stays in my brain!
