[Chorus 1]
If I had wings like Noah's doves
I'd fly the river to the one I love
So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse 1]
I'd a man who was long and tall
Moved his body like a cannonball
So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Muddy river runs muddy and wild
You can't care the bloody
For my unborn child
So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
One of these mornings
It won't be long
You'll call my name
And I'll be gone
So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Chorus 2]
If I had wings like Noah's doves
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
