Down by the River (1999-03-20, Paramount Theatre, Oakland, CA, USA) Songtext
von Neil Young

Be on my side
I′ll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
Its 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, and send me away

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river

Dead, oooh, oooh
Shot her dead, oooh

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

Oooh, 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, dead, oooh, oooh, shot her dead
Shot her dead

Be on my side
I'll be on your side
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

Oooh, yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow, and send me away, yeah

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
