Fare you well my honey

Fare you well my only true one

All the birds that were singing

Are flown except you alone

Don't want 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 going to tame me sing sweet and sleepy

Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home

Do do do

It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago

Do do do

Mama mama many worlds I've come since I first left home

Going home going home

By the waterside I will lay my bones

Listen to the river sing sweet songs

To rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow

By the bank's green edge it will grow grow grow

Oh oh oh

Sing a lullaby beside the water

Oh oh oh

Lovers come and go the river roll roll roll

Oh oh oh

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

Da la da da la di da

Da da la da da da la da

Da la da da la di da

Da da la da da da la da

Da la da da la da da da da da
