Brokedown Palace

Lyrics for 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 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 going 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 Momma, momma, 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 Goin' to plant a weeping willow On the banks 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
