[Verse 1]
If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love
Well, fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

[Verse 2]
And I had a man who was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

[Verse 3]
I remember one evening in the pouring rain
And In my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

[Verse 4]
Bloody river was muddy and wild
Can't give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
