Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
She could drag me over the rainbow
Send me away
[Chorus]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Ooh
Shot her dead, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away, yeah
[Chorus]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead
Shot her dead
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away, yeah
[Chorus]
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
