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

Well I had a man who was long and tall
Who moved his body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

I remember one evening in the pouring rain
In my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Bloody river was muddy and wild
Can't give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Sure as a bird flying high above
Life ain't worth living without the one you love
Fare thee well my honey fare thee well

Fare thee well my honey fare thee well
