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
