Brokedown Palace Song Lyrics
Fare you well my honeyFare you well my only true oneAll the birds that were singingHave flown except you alone
Going to leave this broke-down palaceOn my hands and my knees I will roll, roll, rollMake myself a bed by the watersideIn my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
In a bed, in a bedBy the waterside I will lay my headListen to the river sing sweet songsTo rock my soul
River gonna take meSing me sweet and sleepySing me sweet and sleepyAll the way back back homeIt’s a far gone lullabySung many years agoMama, mama, many worlds I’ve comeSince I first left home
Going home, going homeBy the waterside I will rest my bonesListen to the river sing sweet songsTo rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willowOn the banks green edge it will grow, grow, growSing a lullaby beside the waterLovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you wellI love you more than words can tellListen to the river sing sweet songsTo rock my soul
