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 in the waterside
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 going to take me
Sing 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 riverside 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
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
I love you more than words can tell
