DOWN BY THE RIVER

Neil Young


Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
CHORUS:
Down by the river
I shot my baby
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
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away

CHORUS:
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead

Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There's no reason for us to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride.
