Be on my side , I'll be your side , baby .
There is no reason for you to hide .
It's so hard for me stayin' here all aloneWhen you could be takin' me for a ride .
She could drag me over the rainbow and send me away .
Down by the river , I shot my baby .
Down by the river , dead , ooh , 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 .
There is no reason for you to hide .
It's so hard for me stayin' here all aloneWhen you could be takin' me for a ride .
She could drag me over the rainbow and send me away .
Down by the river , I shot my baby .
Down by the river , dead , ooh , 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 .
