Fare you well

Ef I had wings like Nora's Dove

I'd fly up de river to the man I love.

Fare you well, O honey, fare you well.

One o' these days an' it won't be long,

Call my name an' I'll be gone.

Fare you well, O honey, fare you well.

'Member one night, a mizzlin' rain,

Roun' my heart I felt a pain;

Fare you well, O honey, fare you well.

Ef I had listen'd to what my mammy said,

I'd be at home in my mammy's bed.

Fare you well, O honey, fare you well.
