Be on my side or be on your side,

There is no reason for you to hide,

This much madness is too much sorrow,

It's impossible to make it today,

Hey, hey, ooh-ooh

She could drag me over the rainbow,

Send me away.

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river,

Dead - shot her dead.

You take my hand, I'll take your hand,

Together we may get away.
