Fare Thee Well

(앨범: Belafonte Sings The Blues - 1959)

If I had wings
Like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river
Just to see the woman that I love

Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, "Fare you well"

When I woke up this morning
It was drizzling rain
All around my heart
Well there was an ache and pain

Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, "Fare you well"

Now when you wore
Your apron low
You couldn't keep me
No you couldn't keep me from around your door

Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, "Fare you well"

And now you wear
Your apron high
You say you never
No you never, you scarcely ever see me passing by

Fare you well, oh my honey
I say, "Fare you well"
Oh fare you well
Goodbye woman I know I've done you wrong
Oh fare you well
