Michael McDonald - Down By The River lyrics

(Neil Young)

Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby

There's no reason for you to hide

It's so hard for me standin' here all alone

When you could be takin' me for a ride

Ooh la la la

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

Take my hand, I'll take your hand baby

Together we might get away

This much madness is too much sorrow

It's impossible to make it today

Ooh la la la

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby

Down by the river

Dead

Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby

There's no reason for you to hide

It's so hard for me standin' here all alone

When you could be takin' me for a ride

Ooh la la la

She could drag me over the rainbow

And take me away

Down by the river

I shot my baby
