Old Stepstone - Cold Specks

Tis' sad to be parted from those that we love,

Change faces we see every day.

Each heartstring of mine is broken in twain,

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’m far away,

To roam all this wide world alone.

I stood on my doorstep at evening and more,

The wind whispered by with a moan.

The fields may be whitening;

but I will be gone,

To roam all this wide world alone.

I stood on my doorstep when school time was over,

And I wished 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’m far away,

To roam all this wide world;

Alone.
