Be on my side, I'll be on your side   There is no reason for you to hide   It's so hard, staying here all alone   You could be taking me for a ride      She could drag me over the rainbow   Send 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 may get away   This much madness is too much sorrow   It's impossible to make it today, oh baby      She could drag me over the rainbow   Send 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 ain't no reason for us to hide   It's so hard, staying here all alone   You should be taking me for a ride, oh baby      She could drag me over the rainbow   And send me away   Down by the river, I shot my baby   Down by the river, I shot my baby      You take my hand and I'll take your hand baby   Together we may get away   This much madness is too much sorrow   It's impossible to make it today   This much madness is too much sorrow   It's impossible to make it today   Down by the river
