Fare Thee Well - Odetta

If I had wings

Like a north dove

I’d fly across the river

To the one I love

Fare thee well, my honey

Fare thee well

Woke up this morning

It was drizzling rain

Around my heart

Felt an aching pain

Fare thee well, my honey

Fare thee well

One of these mornings

And it won’t be long

You’ll gonna call my name

Baby, I’ll be gone

Fare thee well, my honey

Fare thee well

I had a man

He was big and tall

He moved his body

Like a cannonball

Fare thee well, my honey

Fare thee well

If I had the wings

Of a north dove

I’d fly across the river

To the one I love

Fare thee well, my honey

Fare thee well
