Fare Thee Well Lyrics

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly cross the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

I loved a man who was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Late last night in the pouring rain
Round my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Beside the river I sat and cried
I heard him singing on the other side
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

One of these days, and it won't be long
You'll call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

As sure as birds fly up above
Life is hard living without the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly cross the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Fare thee well
