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, yeah, 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, ooh
I 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
Yeah, ooh yeah (la-la-la-la)
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, ooh-ooh
Shot her dead, shot her dead, yeah
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
Ooh, yeah-yeah (la-la-la-la)
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
