這是加拿大/美國原創大師尼爾·揚的一首流行幾十年的經典作品。
歌的感歎和口琴間奏部分的旋律是我根據網上不同彈唱版本編寫的。
網上對歌詞意義的解釋：故事來自尼爾·揚讀到的真人真事，講的也是愛情的死去帶來的傷感。
歌的第一段和副歌歌詞
“Down By The River” by Neil Young
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.
She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.
Down by the river,
I shot my baby.
Down by the river.
Dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, ooh.
Down by the river,
I shot my baby.
Down by the river.
