Fare-Thee-Well Songtext
von 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
