If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Well, I had a man, who was long and tall
He moved his 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 was muddy and wild
Can't give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
So show us a bird flying high above
Life ain't worth living without the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
