Brokedown Palace Lyrics - Jimmies Chicken Shack

fare you well, my honey 

fare you well, my only true one 

all the birds that were singing 

are 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 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 head 

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 

singing a lullaby beside the water 

lovers come and go, the river will 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
