Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)

If i had wings like noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one i love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

I hadda gal she was long and tall
She moved her body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

One of these days and it won't be long
Call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

I remember one night, a drizzling rain
Round my heart i felt an achin' pain
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.

When i wore my apron low
Couldn't keep you from my do'
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Now i wear my apron high
Scarcely ever see you passing by
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Now my apron's up to my chin
You pass my door and you won't come in
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.

If I'd jus listened to what my mama said
I'd be sleepin' in a feather bed
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well.
