If i had wings like Noah's dove I'd fly up the river to the one I love Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well The woman i loved, who was long and tall she moved her 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, was an achin' pain Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild You can't care the bloody for my unborn child Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well Just as sure as the birds are flying high above Life ain’t worth 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 up the river to the one I love Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
