E E4 E
If Ihad wings like noah's dove
C#m E E4 E
I'd fly up the river to the one I love
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
I've got a man, he's long and tall
C#m E E4 E
Moves his body like a cannon ball
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
One of these days and it won't be long
C#m E E4 E
Call my name and I'll be gone
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
I remember one night, a drizzling rain
C#m E E4 E
Round my heart I felt an achin' pain
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
When I wore my apron low
C#m E E4 E
Couldn't keep you from my do
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
Now I wear my apron high
C#m E E4 E
Scarcely ever see you passing by
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
Now my apron's up to my chin
C#m E E4 E
You pass my door and you won't come in
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
E E4 E
If I had listened to what my mama said
C#m E E4 E
I'd be at home in my mama's bed
C#m A B B4 B
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
