about

Another American gem, also frequently called 'Dink's song'. A fantastic song of passion, optimism and agency. The perfect counterpoint to Silver Dagger (Track 1).

lyrics

If I had wings like Noah's dove,
I'd fly across the river to the one I love!
Fare thee well, oh honey,
Fare thee well.

If I had listened to what my mamma said
I'd still be sleeping in my mother's bed.
Fare thee well, oh honey,
Fare thee well.

But I've got a man, he's long and tall;
He moves his body like a cannonball.
Fare thee well, oh honey,
Fare thee well.

One of these mornings and it won't be long,
You're going to hear my name but I'll be gone.
Fare thee well, oh honey,
Fare thee well.

Fare thee well, oh honey,
Fare thee well.
