Down by the River Lyrics

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

She could drag me over the rainbow
And take 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

She could drag me over the rainbow
And take me away

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Oh, shot her dead
Shot her dead, shot her

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
