Oh, 'tis sad to be parted from those that we love
Strange faces we see every day
Each heart string 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 I leave with a sigh
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
To roam over this wide world alone.
I stood on my doorstep each evening and morn
The wind whispered by with a moan
The fields may be whitening, but I will be gone
To roam over this wide world alone.
Goodbye dear old stepstone, goodbye to my home
God bless those I leave with a sigh
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
To roam over this wide world alone.
I stood on my doorstep when school time was o'er
And I wish 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 I leave with a sigh
I'll cherish fond memories when I am far away
To roam over this wide world alone.
