Tis sad to be parted from those that we love Strange faces we see everyday Each heartstring of mine is broken in time When I think of those dear ones at home Goodbye dear old stepstone Goodbye to my home God bless those we leave with a sigh I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away To roam over this wide world alone I stood on my door step one evenin' and morned The wind whistled by with a moan The fields maybe whitenin' but I will be gone To roam over this wide world alone Goodbye dear old stepstone Goodbye to my home God bless those we leave with a sigh I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away To roam over this wide world alone I stood on my door step when school time was over I wished for the time to go by 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 we leave with a sigh I'll cherish fond memories when I'm far away To roam over this wide world alone To roam over this wide world alone
