Carolyn Hester - I'll Fly Away

Dink's Song

If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the man I love
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

I got a man, and he's long and tall
Moves his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

When I wore my aprons low
I couldn't keep you from my door
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

Now, my apron is to my chin
You pass by, but you won't come in
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

Then one night it was drizzlin' rain
'Round my heart I felt a pain
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well

One of these days, and it won't be long
Call my name, and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, oh honey, fare thee well
