Harry Belafonte - "Fare Thee Well (trad)" lyrics
Lyrics:
If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river just to see
The woman that I love
Fare thee well oh my honey
I say fare thee well
When I woke up this morning
It was drizzling rain all around my heart
Oh there was an aching pain
If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river just to see
The woman that I love
Fare thee well oh my honey
I say fare thee well
When I woke up this morning
It was drizzling rain all around my heart
Oh there was an aching pain
Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well
Now when you wore your apron low
You couldn't keep me
No you couldn't keep me from around your door
Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well
Now you wear your apron high
You say you never, oh you never you
Scarcely ever see me passing by
Fare thee well oh my honey I say fare thee well
Goodbye woman I know I done you wrong
Oh fare thee well.
Now when you wore your apron low
You couldn't keep me
No you couldn't keep me from around your door
Fare thee well oh my honey, I say fare thee well
Now you wear your apron high
You say you never, oh you never you
Scarcely ever see me passing by
Fare thee well oh my honey I say fare thee well
Goodbye woman I know I done you wrong
Oh fare thee well.
