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
 ♪
 If I met your man, who was long and tall
 
 I'd hit his 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 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
