if i had wings like noah’s dove
i’d fly up the river to the one i love
fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
i hadda gal she was long and tall
she moved her body like a cannon ball
fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
one of these days and it won’t be long
call my name and i’ll be gone
fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
i remember one night, a drizzling rain
round my heart i felt an achin’ pain
fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
when i wore my apr-n low
couldn’t keep you from my do’
fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
now i wear my apr-n high
scarcely ever see you p-ssing by
fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
now my apr-n’s up to my chin
you p-ss my door and you won’t come in
fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
if i’d jus listened to what my mama said
i’d be sleepin’ in a feather bed
fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
