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've got a man, he's long and tall Moves his body like a cannonball Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
One of these days and it won't be long Call my name and I'll be gone Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
Early one morning, drizzling rain And in my heart I felt an aching pain Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
Now show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed I had a little drink about an hour ago And it's gone right to my head
