Lyrics Down by the River - Neil Young, Crazy Horse

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.
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, 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.
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
