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

I knew a man, he's long and tall
He moved his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well

Early one morning, a drizzling rain
And in my heart, I felt an aching pain
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well

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

If I had wings like nora's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well
