Got a girl who's long and tall
She moves her body like a cannon ball
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

If I'da listen what my father said
Wouldn't have such confusion in my aching head
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

One day soon and it won't be long
Someone will call my name and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

All last night in a drizzling rain
All around my heart was an aching pain
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
