If I had wings like Noah's dove

I'd fly the river to the one I love

Well fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Well I had a man who was long and tall

Who moved his body like a cannon ball

Well fare thee well my honey fare thee well

I remember one evening in the pourin' rain

And in my heart was an achin' pain

Well fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild

Can't give a bloody for my unborn child

Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

So show us a bird flyin' high above

Life ain't worth living without the one you love

Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Well fare thee well my honey fare thee well
