Brokedown Palace Lyrics - American Beauty - Grateful Dead

Fare you well my honey 

Fare you well my only true one 

All the birds that were singing 

Have flown except you alone 

Going 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 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 come 

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 

Going to plant a weeping willow 

On the banks 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
