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
[PreChorus]
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh, yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
And send me away, yeah
[Chorus]
Down by the river, I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, shot her dead
Ooh, shot her dead
Shot her dead
[Verse 2]
You take my hand, I'll take your hand, baby
Together, we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today
[PreChorus]
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Send me away, yeah
[Chorus]
Down by the river, I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, shot her dead
Shot my baby dead, shot her dead, ooh
[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 stayin' here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride
[PreChorus]
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh, yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la-la
And send me away, yeah
[Outro]
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
