Fare you well, my honey |
|
Fare you well my only true one |
|
All the birds that were singing |
|
Are flown, except you alone |
|
Don't want to leave this broke down 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 tame me, sing 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 lay my bones |
|
Listen to the river sing sweet songs |
|
To rock my soul |
|
Going to plant a weeping willow |
|
By the bank's 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 |
