The Grateful Dead — Brokedown Palace Live at Auditorium Theater Chicago August 24 1971

[Verse 1] Fare you well, my honey Fare you well, my only true one All the birds that were singing Have flown except you alone Going 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] River going to 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 [Chorus] Going home, going home, by the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] I'm going to plant a weeping willow By 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 [Chorus] 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...
