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 |
|
Remember one evening, it was drizzlin' rain |
|
And in my heart, I felt an achin' 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 |
