Lyrics
It it sad to be parted from those that we love,
Strange faces we see every day,
Each heart string of mine is broken inside,
When I think of those dear ones and home.
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home,
God bless those I leave with a sigh;
I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away,
To roam o'er this wide world alone.
And so I stood on my doorstep one evening and mourned,
And the wind whispered by with a howl;
Fields may be whitening, but I will be gone,
To roam o'er this wide world alone.
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home,
God bless those I leave with a sigh, Oh!
I cherish fond memories when I'm far away,
To roam o'er this wide world alone.
And so I stood by my school when that school time was over,
And I wished for the time to go by,
And now it has passed and I stand here tonight,
To bid this old stepstone goodbye.
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home,
God bless those I leave with a sigh, Oh!
And I will cherish fond memories when I'm far away,
To roam o'er this wide world alone.
