| If I had wings like Noah’s dove
|
| I’d fly that river to the one I love
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
| I’ve got a man, and he’s long and tall
|
| Moves his body like a cannon ball
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
| They gave me a new man to share my bed
|
| Sometimes I wish that I was dead
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
| One of these mornings I know he’s gonna set me free
|
| There’ll be no more auction block for me
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
| Yes one of these mornings and it won’t be long
|
| Them white bosses gonna find me gone
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
|
| Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well |
