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. |
|
I had a man, who was long and tall, |
|
Moved his body like a cannon ball. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
'Member one evening, it was drizzling rain |
|
And in my heart I felt an aching pain. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
Once I wore my apron low, |
|
Been a-keep' you away from my door. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
Now my apron is up to my chin, |
|
You pass my door but you never come in. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild, |
|
You can't care the bloody for my unborn child. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
Number nine train ain' done no harm, |
|
Number nine train take my poor baby home. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well. |
|
Fastest man I ever saw |
|
Skid Missouri on the way to Arkansas. |
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well |
