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

I had a man who was long and tall

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 runs muddy 'n' wild

You can't care the bloody for my unborn child

Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Just as sure as the birds are 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
