Lyrics
Goodbye, My Dear Old Girl Goodbye Verse: Sweetheart I must leave you, I must go away. Pray don’t let it grieve you, love cannot bid me stay. Hear the bugle calling, goodbye sweet sweetheart. Tho’ your tears are falling, dear old girl, we two must part. Goodbye darling. Refrain: When the blue and gray united, are fighting far across the sea Victory will soon be sighted in the name of humanity. While I’m gone may God above protect you, And caress you when you weep and sigh. Ev’ry night, dear, say a pray’r God speed our heroes over there. Goodbye, dear old girl, goodbye. Verse: While campfires are gleaming far away in France, Dear old girl I’m dreaming of love’s departing glance. Keep the love-light burning in your heart so true, For me when returning, to my home sweet home and you. Goodbye darling. Refrain
