[Intro]
Fare thee well, oh honey
Mm, mm-mm

[Verse 1]
If I had listened to what mama said
I'd be at home in my mama's bed
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

[Verse 2]
I had a man, he was long and tall
He moved his body like a cannonball
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

[Verse 3]
One of these days, and it won't be long
He'll call my name, and I'll be gone
Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well
