Down By the River

Ooh, ooh

Be on my side

I'll be 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

Ooh, sha-la-la, the weather

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Dead

You take my hand

I'll take your hand, babe

Together, we'll get away

This much sadness

Is too much sorrow

It's impossible for me to stay

Yeah, yeah

Ooh, sha-la-la, the weather

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Dead

I shot my baby 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

To stay here all alone

When you could be

Taking me for a ride

Ooh, sha-la-la, the weather

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

I shot my baby
