Dink`s Song (Fare Thee Well) — текст песни (Jeff Buckley)

(B.Gibson/B.Lomax/J.Lomax)
This is a blues traditional that has been performed also by Bob Dylan. Jeff performed it several times in his concerts, and he performed it also live on-air for The music faucet, a WFMU radio broadcast, on October 11 1992.
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

If i met your man, who was long and tall
I`d hit his 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 had listened to what my mama said
I`d be at home in my mama`s bed
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
