Brokedown Palace Lyrics by Watkins Family Hour

Watkins Family Hour

0

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'll 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 have passed 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 bank's 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
