Got a girl who's long and tall She moves her body like a cannonball 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
