INTRO
G Am Bb F C
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
G Dm Bb C4
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone
F Bb F
Going to leave this Brokedown Palace,
F Dm Bb F
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll
F Am Bb F
Make myself a bed by the waterside,
F Dm Bb F
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll
F A Bb F G
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
F G Bb F
Listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul
F Bb F
River gonna take me Sing me, sweet and sleepy
F Dm Bb F
Sing me sweet and sleepy, all the way back home
F Am Bb F
It's a far-gone lullaby, sung many years ago
F Dm Bb F
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come, since I first left home
F A Bb F G
Going home, going home, by the waterside I will rest my bones
F G Bb F
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
F Bb F
Going to plant a weeping willow,
F Dm Bb F
On the bank's green edge, it will grow, grow, grow
F Am Bb F
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go-the river roll, roll, roll
F A Bb F G
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell
F G Bb F
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
