The Grateful Dead - Brokedown Palace
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 gonna sing me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
All the way back home
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river 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
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Chorus ★
Going home, going home
By the waterside I will lay my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Verse 3 ★
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
★ Harmonizing ★

Biography
Over the years the Dead released 22 recorded albums, although they were most famous for their improvisational jams at concerts, earning them a cult-like following of self-proclaimed “Dead Heads” who would follow the band from concert-to-concert throughout the band’s career.
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and they’ve sold more than 40 million albums in total; all that with only one top 40 hit (“Truckin”), and one Top 10 hit (“Touch of Grey”) that came near the end of the band’s run, shortly before Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. Grateful Dead was also ranked 57th in Rolling Stone’s “The Greatest Artists of All Time” issue in 2004 and 2005. Since then, various incarnations of the Dead have continued to tour, although a 2015 farewell tour was said to be the band’s last.
In 2015 Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann started a new group called Dead and Company with John Mayer, Allman Brothers bassist Oteil Burbridge, and former Dead keyboardist Jeff Chimenti which Weir has said may have a future in the studio and will continue to tour in coming years.
In 2008, The Grateful Dead named the University of California, Santa Cruz McHenry Library as the home of their complete archival history, including their recorded music, live bootlegs, and artworks. The collections are are now housed at UC Santa Cruz.
