Brokedown Palace Lyrics

Fare you well, my honey,
Fare you well my only true one.
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone.

Goin' to leave this brokedown 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.

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 goin' to 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.

Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will lay my bones,
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul.

Going to plant a weepin' willow;
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
Sings 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.

Doo doot doo doo doo doot doo, doo doot doo doo doot
Doo doot doo.
Doo doot doo, doo doot doo, doo doot doo doot doo doo
Doot doo doot doo.
