Lyrics

If I had wings
like Noah's dove.
I'd fly up the river
to the one I love.
Fare thee well
oh honey
fare thee well.
Early one morning
drizling rain.
Yeah
in my heart,
I felt an aching pain.
Fare thee well
oh honey
fare thee well.
The women I love
long and tall
She moves her body
like a cannon ball.
Fare thee well
oh honey
fare thee well.
One of these morning
It won't be long
You'll call my name
and I'll be gone.
Fare thee well
oh honey
fare thee well.
If I had wings
like Noah's dove.
I'd fly up the river
to the one I love.
Fare thee well, oh honey
fare thee well.
