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 Brokedown Palace,

On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.

Make myself a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul

River going to take me, since 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,

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow,

On the bank's edge it will grow, grow, grow.

Sing a lullaby beside the water,

You know lovers come and go, but 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.
