| If I had wings like Noah’s dove
|
| I’d fly the river to the one I love
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| I had a man, who was long and tall
|
| Moved his body like a cannon ball
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| 'Member one evening, it was drizzling rain
|
| And in my heart I felt an aching pain
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| Once I wore my apron low
|
| Been a-keep' you away from my door
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| Now my apron is up to my chin
|
| You pass my door but you never come in
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild
|
| You can’t care the bloody for my unborn child
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| Number nine train ain' done no harm
|
| Number nine train take my poor baby home
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
|
| Fastest man I ever saw
|
| Skid Missouri on the way to Arkansas
|
| Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well |
