If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
Remember one evening, it was drizzlin' rain
And around my heart, there was an achin' pain
Fare thee well, oh my honey, fare thee well
I had a gal she was long and tall
And she could move her body just like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
One of these days any mornin' now and it won't be long
You're gonna call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
