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
