Lyrics Fare Thee Well (10,000 Miles) - Harry Belafonte

Fare Thee Well (10,000 Miles)

If I had wings
Like Noah’s dove
I’d fly up the river
Just to see the woman that I love
Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, «Fare you well»
When I woke up this mornin'
It was drizzlin' rain
All around my heart
Well there was an ache and pain
Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, «Fare you well»
Now when you wore
Your apron low
You couldn’t keep me
No you couldn’t keep me from around your door
Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, «Fare you well»
And now you wear
Your apron high
You say you never
No you never, you scarcely ever see me passin' by
Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, «Fare you well»
Oh fare you well
Goodbye woman I know I’ve done you wrong
Oh fare you well
