|
If I had wings |
|
Like Noah's dove |
|
I'd fly up the river |
|
Just to see the woman that I love |
|
Fare you well, oh my honey |
|
I say, "Fare you well" |
|
When I woke up this mornin' |
|
It was drizzlin' rain |
|
All around my heart |
|
Well there was an ache and pain |
|
Fare you well, oh my honey |
|
I say, "Fare you well" |
|
Now when you wore |
|
Your apron low |
|
You couldn't keep me |
|
No you couldn't keep me from around your door |
|
Fare you well, oh my honey |
|
I say, "Fare you well" |
|
And now you wear |
|
Your apron high |
|
You say you never |
|
No you never, you scarcely ever see me passin' by |
|
Fare you well, oh my honey |
|
I say, "Fare you well" |
|
Oh fare you well |
|
Goodbye woman I know I've done you wrong |
|
Oh fare you well |
