I noticed nobody had uploaded a Bob Dylan version of this wonderful song so..

Lyrics:

If I had wings like Noah's dove

I'd fly the river to the one I love

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

I had a man, who was long and tall,

Moved his body like a cannon ball.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

'Member one evening, it was drizzling rain

And in my heart I felt an aching pain.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Once I wore my apron low,

Been a-keep' you away from my door.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Now my apron is up to my chin,

You pass my door but you never come in.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Muddy river runs muddy 'n' wild,

You can't care the bloody for my unborn child.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Number nine train ain' done no harm,

Number nine train take my poor baby home.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

Fastest man I ever saw

Skid Missouri on the way to Arkansas.

Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

This is my all time favorite version. It's beautiful. And to anybody who claims he can't sing, nobody, NOBODY, can sing a Dylan song better than Dylan

Bob Dylan CAN sing like Deano Spumoni, but he just chooses not too.He's imitating his influences, the old folk and blues artists (Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly etc..,) who really sung in a very "normal" voice if you will, almost like there talking, telling you a story along with the melody, instead of actually "singing" in the since of like Sinatra or somebody..you know they do it too fancied up...opera like all ohohohooooooooeeeeeiiiiiiuuuuuUUUUUUh, but bob, and a lot of folk/blues artists don't do all the opera nonsence.

John Lomax encountered Dink in "1908" (Adventures Of A Ballad Hunter, 1947) or in "1904" (Folk Song U.S.A., 1947). I think he encountered her in about 1908, she sang the "fare thee well" song, which isn't a blues, and he didn't necessarily hear virtually any of the other song, the so-called "Dink's Blues," from her at the time (see his 1917 article in The Nation and notice how he wrote that he saw all "Blues" songs with their various lyrics as a "tribute" to the time he heard her).

Wow. Bobby wasn't giving a fuckabout this song. Listen to Pete Seagers version. Much more heart.
