Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singin'
Have flown except you alone
Gonna 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 gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
(Ooh-ooh) 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
Gonna plant, oh, a weepin' willow
By the banks' green edge, it will grow, grow, grow
(Ooh-ooh) sing a lullaby beside the water
(Ooh-ooh) 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
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
Goodnight
