Down By The River

Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.



Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.



You take my hand,

I'll take your hand

Together we may get away

This much madness

is too much sorrow

It's impossible

to make it today.



Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.



Be on my side,

I'll be on your side,

baby

There is no reason

for you to hide

It's so hard for me

staying here all alone

When you could be

taking me for a ride.



Yeah, she could drag me

over the rainbow,

send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead, oh, shot her dead.
