If I had wings like noah's dove

I'd fly up the river to the one I love

Fare thee wellmy honeyfare thee well

If I met your manwho was long and tall

I'd hit his body like a cannon ball

Fare thee wellmy honeyfare thee well

One of these days and it won't be long

Call my name and I'll be gone

Fare thee wellmy honeyfare thee well

I remember one nighta drizzling rain

Round my heart I felt an achin' pain

Fare thee welloh honeyfare thee well

When I wore my apron low

Couldn't keep you from my do'

Fare thee wellmy honeyfare thee well

Now I wear my apron high

Scarcely ever see you passing by

Fare thee wellmy honeyfare thee well

Now my apron's up to my chin

You pass my door and you won't come in

Fare thee welloh honeyfare thee well

If I had listened to what my mama said

I'd be at home in my mama's bed

Fare thee welloh honeyfare thee well
