If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love;
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.
I knew a man who was long and tall,
He moved his body like a cannon ball - Oh
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.
'member one night, in the drizzling rain,
And 'round my heart, I felt an aching pain -
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.
One of these days, it won't be long
You'll call my name and I'll be gone.
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.
Fare thee well.
