Lyrics Fare Thee Well - Harry Belafonte

One of these days and it won't be long

You're gonna call my name and I'll be gone

Fare thee well honey, fare thee well

Well you don't know you don't know my mind

When you see me laughing baby it's to keep me from crying

Fare thee well honey fare thee well

God knows I tried I done my best

But I guess I'm just a rambler like all the rest

Fare thee well, fare thee well oh honey, honey fare thee well

I don't know where, don't know where I'm bound

Keep lookin for something I ain't never found

Fare thee well oh honey, honey, honey, honey fare thee well

There is just one thing that troubles my mind

And that's leaving you darling

Leaving you here behind

Fare thee well oh honey, honey fare thee well

Bye bye baby, pretty baby bye bye, your daddy's gone

Your daddy's gone from you

Fare thee well, honey, honey, honey fare thee well
