Dink's Song

If I had wings like Noah's dove

I'd fly the river to the one I love

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

I had a man, who was long and tall

Moved his body like a cannon ball

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

'Member one evening, it was drizzling rain

And in my heart I felt an aching pain

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Once I wore my apron low

Been a-keep' you away from my door

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Now my apron is up to my chin

You pass my door but you never come in

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild

You can't care the bloody for my unborn child

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Number nine train ain' done no harm

Number nine train take my poor baby home

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well

Fastest man I ever saw

Skid Missouri on the way to Arkansas

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well
