[Verse 1: Jill Sobule]
Be on my side
I'll be on your side
There's 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

[Pre-Chorus: Jill Sobule, John Doe]
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away

[Chorus: Jill Sobule]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Shot her dead
Shot her dead

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2: Jill Sobule]
You take my hand and I'll take your hand
Together, we may get away
And this much madness is too much sorrow
And it's impossible to make it today
[Pre-Chorus: Jill Sobule, John Doe]
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away

[Outro: Jill Sobule]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Shot her dead
Shot her dead
Boom
