Lyrics for 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 And send me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, 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 And send me away, yeah Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river, dead, dead 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 And send me away, yeah Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river
