Fare Thee Well (10,000 Miles) - Harry Belafonte

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 mornin'

It was drizzlin' 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 passin' 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
