If I had wings like nora’s dove
I’d fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, o honey
Fare thee well

The woman I love is long and tall
She moves her body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, o honey
Fare thee well

Early one morning, drizzling rain
And in my heart, I felt an aching pain
Fare thee well, o honey
Fare thee well

One of these mornings, it won’t be long
You’ll call my name and I’ll be gone
Fare thee well, o honey
Fare thee well

If I had wings like nora’s dove
I’d fly up the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, o honey
Fare thee well
