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

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

Oh, 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

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

Oh, shot her dead

Shot her dead, shot her
