broke down 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 brokedown palace

On my hand 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

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

Its a far gone lullaby sung many years ago

Mama mama many worlds Ive come since I first left home

Goin home goin 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 banks clean 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

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
