Lyrics:

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'
Ooh, fare you well
Goodbye woman I know I've done you wrong
Oh, fare you well
