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      She could drag me over the rainbow   And send me away      Down by the river I shot my baby   Down by the river, dead, 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, yeah      She could drag me over the rainbow   And send me away, yeah      Down by the river I shot my baby   Down by the river, dead, dead   Shot her dead, shot her dead      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      She could drag me over the rainbow   And send me away, yeah      Down by the river I shot my baby   Down by the river      Down by the river I shot my baby   Down by the river      Down by the river I shot my baby   Down by the river
