G                 Am     Bb         F                 C

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

G                       Dm          Bb                 C          F

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





F                    Bb

Going to leave this brokedown palace,

      F            Dm            Bb           F

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

F             Am         Bb    F

Make myself a bed in the waterside,

                  G            Bb          F

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





F         A

In a bed, in a bed,

       Bb                F      G

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

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

F                 Dm             Bb       F

Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.

G                 Am           Bb        F

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

                G                      Bb            F

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





F           A

Goin' home, goin' home,

       Bb                F       G

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

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,

                G             Bb           F

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



F              A

Fare you well, fare you well,

  Bb                  F         G

I love you more than words can tell,

F                   G                    Bb       F

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