If I had wings like noahs dove

Id 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

Id hit his body like a cannon ball

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well



One of these days and it wont be long

Call my name and Ill 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

Couldnt 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 aprons up to my chin

You pass my door and you wont come in

Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well



If I had listened to what my mama said

Id be at home in my mamas bed

Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
