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
|
|
I hadda gal she was long and tall
|
She moved her body like a cannon ball
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
|
One of these days and it won't be long
|
Call my name and I'll be gone
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
|
I remember one night, a drizzling rain
|
Round my heart i felt an achin' pain
|
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
|
When i wore my apron low
|
Couldn't keep you from my do'
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
|
Now i wear my apron high
|
Scarcely ever see you passing by
|
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
|
Now my apron's up to my chin
|
You pass my door and you won't come in
|
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
|
If I'd jus listened to what my mama said
|
I'd be sleepin' in a feather bed
|
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
