| If I had wings like Norah’s dove
|
| I’d fly up the river to the one I love
|
| Fare thee well, oh my honey, fare thee well
|
| I’ve got a man, he’s long and tall
|
| Moves his body like a cannon ball
|
| Fare thee well, oh 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, oh my honey, fare thee well
|
| I remember one night, a drizzling rain
|
| Round my heart I felt a pain
|
| Fare thee well, oh my 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 my honey, fare thee well |
