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
