I stood at the stepstone when school days were over
Longing for time to go by
Now that it's gone, I stand here tonight
And bid this old stepstone goodbye
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home
God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh
Fields 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 strongest of all
Heartstrings are broken in twain
By absence of loved ones and home
Goodbye to my stepstone, goodbye to my home
God bless the ones that I leave with a sigh
Fields will be widening and I will be gone
To ramble this wide world alone
I stand at the stepstone
At eventide now
When school days were over

And whistles by with a moan
Love now is gone
As 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 sigh
Fields will be widening and I will be gone
To ramble this wide world alone
Fields will be widening and I will be gone
To ramble this wide world alone
