Watkins Family Hour - Brokedown Palace lyrics

Fare thee well my honey Fare thee well my only true one All the birds that were singing 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 back home It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago Mama, Mama, many worlds I've visited since I first left home Going home, going home by the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul Gonna plant me a weeping willow On the banks green edge it'll grow, grow, grow Sing a lullaby down by the water Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll Fare thee well, fare thee well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul Oh fare thee well, fare thee well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul Oh listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
