100%

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly the river to the one I love
Fare thee well my honey
Fare thee well

I had a man he was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well my honey
Fare thee well

I remember one evening in the pouring rain
In my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well my honey
Fare thee well

Muddy river runs muddy and wild
Can't give a bloody for my unborn child
Fare thee well my honey
Fare thee well

To show us a bird flying high above
Life ain't worth livin' without the one you love
Fare thee well my honey
Fare thee well
