Letra de
Down by the River

A música Down by the River de Neil Young descreve uma narrativa obscura de amor e morte. Foi escrita por Young enquanto ele estava doente com febre alta. A canção é notável por seu longo solo de guitarra improvisado e por sua ambiguidade lírica, que tem sido objeto de várias interpretações. Young mencionou que a canção é sobre um relacionamento fracassado, mas a natureza exata da narrativa permanece aberta a interpretações.

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 . . . .
