Lyrics
If I had wings like Noah’s dove,
I’d fly up the river to the man I love.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

I’ve got a man, and he’s long and tall,
Moves his body like a cannon ball,
Fare thee well, O 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, O Honey, fare thee well.

‘Member one night, a-drizzling rain,
‘Round my heart I felt a pain.
Fare thee well, Oh Honey, fare thee well.

When I wore my aprons low,
Couldn’t keep you from my door,
Fare thee well, Oh Honey, fare thee well.

Now I wear my aprons high,
Scarcely ever see you passing by.
Fare thee well, O 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, O Honey, fare thee well.

If I had listened to what my mama said,
I’d be at home in my mama’s bed.
Fare thee well, Oh Honey, fare thee well.
