	DINK'S SONG
	Ef I had wings like Norah's dove, I'd fly up the river to the man I love. Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. Ise got a man, an' he's long and tall, Moves his body like a cannon ball, Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. One o' dese days, an' it won't be long, Call my name an' I'll be gone. Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. 'Member one night, a-drizzlin' rain, Roun' my heart I felt a pain. Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. When I wo' my ap'ons low, Couldn't keep you from my do'. Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. Now I wears my ap'ons high, Sca'cely ever see you passin' by. Fare thee well, O Honey, fare thee well. [195]
