[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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
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, ooh

[Guitar Solo]

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
She could drag me over the rainbow
Send me away
[Chorus]
Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, shot here dead

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
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, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
She could drag me over the rainbow
Send me away

[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
Dead
