Down by the River - The Meters

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
