If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well

I knew a man, he's long and tall
He moved his body like a cannon ball
Oh, fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well

Early one night, a drizzling rain
Around my heart, I felt an aching pain
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well

One of these day, it won't be long
You'll call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, oh, honey
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
