[Verse]
If I had wings like Noah’s dove
I’d fly across the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse]
I loved a man who was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse]
Late last night in the pouring rain
Around my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse]
Beside the river I sat and cried
I heard him singing on the other side
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
As sure as birds fly up above
Life is hard living without the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
[Verse]
If I had wings like Noah’s dove
I’d fly across the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Fare thee well
