Dink's Song

Oh yeah, yeah, baby...scatting....oh yeah If I had wings, like Noah's dove, I'd fly a river to the one I love. Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well If I met your man and he was long and tall I'd heave his body like a cannon ball Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well One evening it was drizzlin' rain and in my heart, I felt an aching pain Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well As you wore, wore your apron low Gonna keep you, away from my door Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well And your apron is straight up to your chin. I cross your door, but I never come in Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well And the woman I love, I crave to see She lives out in the country, and I know she won't lie to me Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Ah... she's gone, and no she won't come back She took the last nickel out of my savings sack Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well And I went to the mountain, looked as far as my eye could see. Some other man got my woman, and I know some blues got me. oh yeah, yeah Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well And I found her letter, on the old maple tree She says, I'm gonna get you for all the things you did to me. Oh yeah, baby, baby Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well Now if a man is a cheater, he's having himself a time, but he'll never keep his woman cause he just don't know his mind. His mind, mind, mind, mind Fare thee well, my honey, oh yeah Money are you there, lot of money here (this line is not clear) but you can't give me money for my unborn child, child, child, child Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well When a woman gets in trouble, everybody puts her down Looking for a good friend and no one can be found Fare thee well Woman never gonna change, never done no harm Lord the nine train, take my poor baby home Fare thee well, oh yeah Now the woman I love ( verse is unknown) Fare thee well, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah And her Papa is dead, Mamm's will to be I ain't got no woman to love and care for me Fare thee well, oh yeah, oh yeah Fare thee well, my honey, oh my honey, Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
