Fare you well, my honey,
fare you well,
my only true one.
All the birds that were singing
Have flown, except you alone
gonna leave this broke -down palace
on my hands and my knees
I will make myself a
In by the waterside,
in my time, in my time,
I will row, row, row.
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 water side I will lay my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
I'm going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge
It will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go,
the river 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
Do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
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
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
