Lyrics Brokedown Palace - 2020 Remaster - Grateful Dead

Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are 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

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 goin' to take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
All the way back home
Doo-doo

It's a far-gone lullaby (doo)
I sung many years ago (doo-doo, doo-doo)
Mama, Mama many worlds I've come
Since I first left home

Going home, going home
By the water-side I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul

Goin' to plant a weepin' willow
On the bank's green edge (ooh, ooh)
It will grow, grow, grow (ooh, ooh)
Sing a lullaby beside the water (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lovers come and go (ooh, ooh)
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

Doo-doo, doo, doo-dih-dih, doo
Doo, dih-doo-doo, dih-doo, dih-doo
Doo-doo, doo, doo-dih-dih, doo, dih-doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo, doo, dih-doo
Doo-doo, doo, dih-doo-doo, dih-doo, dih-doo
