Stepstone

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 goodbye

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 will 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, goodbye to my home

God bless the ones that

I leave with a cry

The field will be widening and

I will be gone

To ramble this wide world alone

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, goodbye to my home

God bless the ones that

I leave with a cry

The field will be widening and

I will be gone

To ramble this wide world alone
