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

I remember one evening, in the pouring rain
And in my heart, was an achin' pain
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

Just as sure as the birds are 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
