This timeless Negro Spiritual, "Down by the Riverside," has been around since before the American Civil War. Nevertheless, it was first published in 1918, and first recorded by the Fisk Jubilee Singers (Quartet) in 1920 and released in 1922.
The awesome talent of those that birthed these spirituals on the plantations never cease to amaze me. The basis of this song comes directly from the Bible. The scripture references are Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:3

"Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn (study) war anymore."
