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
