Lyrics Down By the River - Neil Young , Crazy Horse

Here we go, rolling, take one
This is- wha- what's the name of this Neil?
(Uh, Down By the River)
Down By the River, take one

Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard so hard for me stayin' here all alone
When you could be takin' me for a ride

(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) Ooh, yeah
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) And send me away

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Shot her dead, ooh
Shot her dead
Shot her dead

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

(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) Ooh, yeah
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) And send me away

Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Shot her dead
Shot my baby dead
Shot her dead, ooh

Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me stayin' here all alone
When you could be takin' me for a ride

(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) Ooh, yeah
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) She could drag me over the rainbow
(Ooh la la la ooh la la la la) And send me away

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