Dink's Blues Lyrics

If I had wings
Like Noah's dove
I'd fly
Across the water
To that man I love
Fare you well
Oh, honey
Fare you well

One of these mornings
In the drizzling rain
All around my heart
Was an aching pain
Fare you well
Oh, honey
Fare you well

If I had listened
To what my mama said
I'd of stayed at home
In momma's bed
Fare you well
Oh, honey
Fare you well
Fare you well
Oh, honey
Fare you well

One of these mornings
It won't be long
You'll call my name
And I'll be gone
Fare you well
Fare you well
Fare you well

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
