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 Oh, fare thee well, oh, honey Fare thee well Early one night, a drizzling rain Around my heart, I felt an aching pain Fare thee well, oh, honey Fare thee well One of these day, it won't be long You'll call my name and I'll be gone Fare thee well, oh, honey Fare thee well Fare thee well Fare thee well
