If I had wings like Noah's dove, I'd fly the river to the one I love. Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. verse 2 I had a man who was long and tall, moved his body like a cannonball. Chorus 'member one evening was drizzling rain, and round my heart I felt an aching pain. Chorus Once I wore my apron low, couldn't keep you away from my door. Chorus Now my apron is up to my chin, you'll pass my door but you'll never come in. Chorus Mighty river runs muddy and wild, can't care the bloody for my unborn child. Chorus Number nine train done no harm, number nine train, take my poor baby home. Chorus Fastest man I ever saw, was in Missouri on the way to Arkansas. Chorus
