Ooh, ooh...
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
Ooh, sha la la, the weather
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
You take my hand
I'll take your hand, babe
Together, we'll get away
This much sadness
Is too much sorrow
It's impossible for me to stay
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, sha la la, the weather
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Be on my side
I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason to hide
It's so hard for me
To stand here all alone
When you could be
Taking me for a ride
Ooh, sha la la, the weather
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
I shot my baby
