Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone
Don't want to leave this broke down 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 going to tame me, sing sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/brokedown-palace-lyrics-grateful-dead.html ]
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home
By the waterside I will lay my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
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
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

This is the song that truely made me a dead fan. I'll never forget my first show, Madison Square Garden. My younger brother didn't want me to go," First you buy an album, then go to a show, next you're touring the country in a VW bus, dropping acid." The show was fantastic, & I saw many more shows. Never did get that tour in the VW though. I pity the people that never saw a live show, it was a life experience.
