If I had wings like Noah's dove I'd fly the river to the one that I love Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well I had a man, who was long and tall He moved his body like a cannon ball Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well I remember one evening in the pouring rain And in my heart there was an aching pain Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Muddy river runs muddy and wild You can't give a bloody for my unborn child Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Just as sure as the birds are flying high Life ain't worth living if you ain't with the man you love Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
