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

There is no reason for you to hide

You know it's 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

She could drag me over

The rainbow and take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

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

And 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

Down by the river I

Lord I shot my baby

Down by down by the river

I shot my baby
