Letra de
Down by the River

Down by the River, de Neil Young, es una oscura historia de amor y asesinato. Fue escrita por Young mientras estaba postrado con una fiebre alta. La canción es notable por su largo solo de guitarra improvisado y por su ambigüedad lírica, lo que ha llevado a varias interpretaciones. Young ha mencionado que la canción trata sobre una relación rota, pero la naturaleza exacta de la narrativa se deja abierta a interpretaciones.

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 stay'in here all alone, when you could be takin' me for a ride
 She could drag me over the rainbow, and send me away
 Down by the river, I shot my baby
 Down by the river, dead, ooh, shot her dead
 You take my hand, I'll take your hand, together we may get away
 This much madness is too much sorrow, it's impossible to make it today
 She could drag me over the rainbow, and send me away
 Down by the river, I shot my baby
 Down by the river, dead, ooh, shot her dead
 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 stay'in here all alone, when you could be takin' me for a ride
 She could drag me over the rainbow, 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
 Down by the river, I shot my baby
 Down by the river
 Down by the river, I shot my baby . . . .
