Harry Belafonte Fare Thee Well (trad) Lyrics

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

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.
