Dink's Song (Live)

if i had wings like noah's dove

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

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

i've got a man, he's long and tall

moves his body like a cannon ball

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

one of these days and it won't be long

call my name and I'll be gone

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

i remember one night, a drizzling rain

round my heart i felt an achin' pain

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

when i wore my apron low

couldn't keep you from my do

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

now i wear my apron high

scarcely ever see you passing by

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

now my apron's up to my chin

you pass my door and you won't come in

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

if i had listened to what my mama said

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

fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
