Brokedown Palace

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.

All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone

Going to leave this Broke-down Palace,

On my hands and 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

Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul

River gonna 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

Going home, going home

by the waterside I will rest my bones

Listen to the river sing sweet songs

to rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow

On 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

Listen to the river sing sweet songs

to rock my soul.
