holy waters
Fare you well my honey Fare you well my only true one All the birds that were singing Are flown, except you alone  Going to leave this brokedown palace On my hand 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 gonna 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  Goin' home, goin' home, by the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul  Going to plant a weeping willow On the banks clean 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
