Brokedown Palace

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fare you well, my honey Fare you well, my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone [Verse 2] I'm goin' 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, roll [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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, we sung it many years ago Mama, Mama many worlds I've come since I first left home [Chorus] Goin' home, goin' home By the riverside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul [Verse 4] I'm goin' to plant a weeping willow On the bank's green edge, and it will grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go; the river roll, roll, roll [Chorus] 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 Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul
