[Verse 1] Fare you well, my honey Fare you well, my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone Goin' to 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Going home, going home By the water-side I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
