Ef I had wings like Norah's dove,
I'd fly up da river to the one I love.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

Ise got a man, an' he's long and tall,
Moves his body like a cannonball.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

One o' dese days, an' it won't be long,
You'll call my name an' I'll be gone.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

'Member one night, in a-drizzlin' rain,
Roun' my heart felt aching pain.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

When I wo' my ap'ons low,
Couldn't keep you from my do'.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.

Ef I had wings like Norah's dove,
I'd fly up da river to the one I love.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.
Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well.
