Song title: Down by the river
(Neil Young) by Neil Young
Down by the river
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, oh
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, oh, yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow and send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river, dead, oh, shot her dead, oh
