Fare Thee Well (Fred Brooks) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

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
