A                 Bm     C         G                 D

Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.

A                       Em          C                 D

All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.





G                   C

Going to leave this brokedown palace,

      G            Em            C           G

On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll.

G             Bm         C    G

Make myself a bed in the waterside,

                  A            C          G

In my time, In my time, I will roll, roll roll.





G         B

In a bed, in a bed,

       C                G      A

By the waterside I will lay my head.

G                   A                    C       G

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.





G                       C

River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy,

G                 Em             C        G

Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.

G               Bm            C           G

It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.

                A                      C            G

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





G           B

Goin' home, goin' home,

       C                G       A

By the waterside I will rest my bones,

G                   A                    C       G

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.





G                C

Going to plant a weeping willow,

G                   Em           C           G

On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.

G           Bm C          G

Sing a lullaby beside the water,

                A             C           G

Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.



G              B

Fare you well, fare you well,

  C                  G         A

I love you more than words can tell,

G                   A                    C       G

Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
