ABmCGD
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one.
AEmCD
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone.
[Verse]
GC
Going to leave this brokedown palace,
GEmCG
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
GBmCG
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
ACG
In my time, In my time, I will roll, roll roll.
[Chorus]
GB
In a bed, in a bed,
CGA
By the waterside I will lay my head.
GACG
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
[Verse]
GC
River going to take me, sing me sweet and sleepy,
GEmCG
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home.
GBmCG
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago.
ACG
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home.
[Chorus]
GB
Goin' home, goin' home,
CGA
By the waterside I will rest my bones,
GACG
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
[Verse]
GC
Going to plant a weeping willow,
GEmCG
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow.
GBmCG
Sing a lullaby beside the water,
ACG
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.
[Chorus]
GB
Fare you well, fare you well,
CGA
I love you more than words can tell,
GACG
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul.
