|
I stood on the stepstone when schooldays was o'er |
|
Long for the time to go by |
|
Now that it's gone, |
|
I stand here tonight |
|
Bid this old stepstone goodbye |
|
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home |
|
God bless the ones that |
|
I leave with a cry |
|
The field will be widening and |
|
I will be gone |
|
To ramble this wide world alone |
|
I stand on my stepsyone at eventide now |
|
The wind whistles by with a moan |
|
Now it is gone and |
|
I stand here tonight |
|
Goodbye to my stepstone and home |
|
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home |
|
God bless the ones that |
|
I leave with a cry |
|
The field will be widening and |
|
I will be gone |
|
To ramble this wide world alone |
|
It's hard to be parted from those that we love |
|
When reverses in fortune have come |
|
The world's strongest heartstrings are broken in twain |
|
From the absence of loved ones and home |
|
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home |
|
God bless the ones that |
|
I leave with a cry |
|
The field will be widening and |
|
I will be gone |
|
To ramble this wide world alone |
