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 good bye. 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 wil 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... 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...
