Brokedown Palace

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you aloneGoing to leave this broke-down 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 rollIn a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soulRiver gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
All the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
Sung many years ago
Mama, mama, many worlds I've come
Since I first left homeGoing home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soulGoing to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll roll rollFare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
