Brokedown Palace Lyrics - Adrienne Young

Fare you well my honey 

Fare you well my only true one 

All the birds that were singing 

Are flown, except you alone 

Going to leave this brokedown palace 

On my hand 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 

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 

Going to plant a weeping willow 

On the banks clean 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
