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

She could drag me over the rainbow,

Send me away

Down by the river, I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, ooh.

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.

She could drag me over the rainbow,

Send me away

Down by the river, I shot my baby,

Down by the river

Dead, dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, shot her dead.

Be on my side, I'll be on your side

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

She could drag me over the rainbow,

Send me away

Down by the river, I shot my baby

Down by the river

Down by the river, I shot my baby

Down by the river
