Lyrics

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 broke-down palace
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed in the waterside
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 take me, sing sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
Its a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
Mama, mama many worlds Ive come since I first left home
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
Going home, going home, by the riverside 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
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
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
