Fare Thee Well
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I had wings like Noah’s dove
I’d fly cross the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
I loved a man who was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Late last night in the pouring rain
Round my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Beside the river I sat and cried
I heard him singing on the other side
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
One of these days, and it won’t be long
You’ll call my name and I’ll be gone
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
As sure as birds fly up above
Life is hard living without the one you love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
If I had wings like Noah’s dove
I’d fly cross the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
Fare thee well
