Going to leave this brokedown palace,
G G Em Em C C G G
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll.

Make myself a bed in the waterside,

In a bed, in a bed,

By the waterside I will rest my bones,

Going to plant a weeping willow,
G G Em Em C C G G
On 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.

I love you more than words can tell,

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

About this song: Brokedown Palace

Faaare ye well, my honey Fare ye well, my only true love All the birds that were singin' Have flown except you alone Wow, I am beginning to feel like a broken record when I say this is a legendary Grateful Dead song that displays Robert Hunter's work at its finest. I suppose that what happens when you have Box of Rain and Brokedown Palace one after the other in the alphabetical song list. Brokedown isn't as metaphysical as Box of Rain but instead a much more sincere and poignant love song.
