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. 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
