Goodbye Dolly Gray

"I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray.
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray;
There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it ev'rywhere,
It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray.
Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray
Sounding thro' the village street, Dolly Gray
'Tis the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms of blue,
I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray!

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, 
Tho' it breaks my heart to go;
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
See - the boys in blue are marching 
And I can no longer stay,
Hark - I hear the bugle calling, 
Goodbye Dolly Gray!

Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray
Back from war the reg'ment comes, Dolly Gray
On your lovely face so fair, I can see a look of fear
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray
For the one you love so well, Dolly Gray
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray
With his face toward the foe, as he died he murmured low,
"I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray!"
