Dora's gone Uncle Willie's got no place to stay Uncle Willie's got no more to say He's awful sad. He's awful sad More than 60 years on a farm with children around them Living in a country far away from where they were born Long time ago Dora came with Willie their home to find Leaving family far behind They went away, they went to pray In a land where a smile comes free, a promise is golden Living in a land where no one can break your door Willie kept trying. Dora was dying He held her in his arms She smiled when he spoke of the family, the farm Memories from the old country To a place that's wild, that's free Suddenly Dora's gone Suddenly Dora's gone She's gone Old man walks slow Thinking of a time long ago No longer thinking where to go Lives in a yesterday, memories fading away Stops in a store, buys milk and butter His fingers are worn, his heart is torn What is it for For Dora, to be with her again For Dora, to be with her again Someday
