If I had wings like Noah's dove I'd fly the river to the one I loveFare thee well, my honey, fare thee well I had a man who was long and tall Moved his body like a cannon ball Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Remember one evening, it was drizzlin' rain And in my heart, I felt an achin' pain Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Once I wore my apron low Been a-keep' you away from my door Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Now, my apron is up to my chin You pass my door but you never come in Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild You can't care the bloody for my unborn child Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Number nine train ain' done no harm Number nine train take my poor baby home Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Fastest man I ever saw Skid Missouri on the way to ArkansasFare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
