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
Early one morning
Drizzling rain
And in my heart
I felt an aching pain

Fare thee well, my honey
Fare thee well
The woman I love
Long and tall
She moves her body
Like a cannonball

Fare thee well
Oh honey, fare thee well
One of these morning
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 Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well
Oh honey, fare thee well
