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

There's no reason for us 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



CHORUS

Down by the river

I shot my baby

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

She could drag me over the rainbow

And send me away



CHORUS

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead



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

There's no reason for us to hide

It's so hard for me staying here all alone

When you could be taking me for a ride
