Down by the River Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

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

You could drag me over the rainbow
Take me away

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

You take my hand, I′ll take your hand
And together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today

And she could drag me over the rainbow
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
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

She could drag me over the rainbow
Take me away

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby (one more time now)
Down by the river
Dead

And here we go
Of course, over here on the keyboards and the vocals
