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
(down by)
i'll take your hand baby
(the river)
together we may get away
(i shot my baby)
this much madness is too much sorrow
(down by the river)
it's impossible to make it today
(i shot my baby)
this much madness is too much sorrow
(down by the river)
it's impossible to make it today
(i shot my baby)
down by the river
