If I had wings like Noah’s dove
I’d fly the river to the one I love
Well 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
Well fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

I remember one evening, in the pourin’ rain
And in my heart was an achin’ pain
Well fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Muddy river runs muddy ‘n’ wild
Can’t give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

So show us a bird flyin’ high above
Life ain’t worth living without the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Well fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
