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,
| send me away
| Down by the river
| I shot my baby
| Down by the river,
| Dead, oh, 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,
| send me away
| Down by the river
| I shot my baby
| Down by the river,
| Dead, oh, shot her dead.
|
| 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

|
| Yeah, she could drag me
| over the rainbow,
| send me away
| Down by the river
| I shot my baby
| Down by the river,
| Dead, oh, shot her dead.
