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
Staying here all alone
When you could be
Taking me for a ride

Ooh, yeah, she could
Drag me over the rainbow
Send me away

[CHORUS]
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby

You take my hand
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
Oh, this much madness
Is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today

Ooh, yeah, she could
Drag me over the rainbow
Send me away

[Repeat CHORUS 2x]
