Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby   There's no reason for you to hide   It's so hard for me standin' here all alone   When you could be takin' me for a ride      Ooh 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      Take my hand, I'll take your hand baby   Together we might get away   This much madness is too much sorrow   It's impossible to make it today      Ooh 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      Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby   There's no reason for you to hide   It's so hard for me standin' here all alone   When you could be takin' me for a ride      Ooh 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
