If I had wings like noah's doves I'd fly the river to the one I love So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well I'd a man who was long and tall Moved his body like a cannonball So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Muddy river runs muddy and wild You can't care the bloody For my unborn child So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well One of these mornings It won't be long You'll call my name And I'll be gone So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well If I had wings like noah's doves I'd fly the river to the one I love Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well So fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
