Brokedown Palace
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing have flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, In my time, I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Going to plant a weeping willow
By the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
All the birds that were singing have flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, In my time, I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Going to plant a weeping willow
By the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
