Bob Dylan
Dink’s Song (The Minnesota Tapes)
If I can remember how to sing it

If I had wings like a 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 was drizzling rain
Around my heart I felt an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Once I wore my apron low
Couldn't 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 nеver come in
Fare thee wеll, my honey, fare thee well

Oh, mighty river runs muddy and wild
Can't care the bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Number nine train won't do no harm
Number nine train take my poor baby home
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Fastest man I ever saw
Skipped Missouri on the way to Arkansas
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

-Is it how the original goes?
-Huh?
-That's how the original goes?
-That's the way I heard it, I heard that from a lady named Dink
I don't know who wrote it
