Be on my side

I be on your side baby

There is no reason

For you to hide

You know its so hard for me

Bein' here all alone

When you could be taking me for a ride

Ooh la la la la la la la la

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Yeah

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Yeah

Down by the river

Dead yeah

You know I shot her dead

Well you take my hand

And I'll take your hand baby

Oh together we may get away

All of this madness is too much sorrow yes it is

It's impossible

To make it today

Ooh la la la la la la la la la la

She could drag me

Over the rainbow

And take me away

Yeah ee yeah

Down by the river

I Lord I shot my baby

Down by down by the river

I shot my baby
