Down By The River Lyrics - Buddy Miles

With The Freedom Express 

Oh, oh 

Be on my side 

I'll be 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 

Oh, 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 

Oh, 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 

Oh, 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
