Woody Guthrie Stepstone

I stood on the stepstone when school days was over And longed for the time to go by, Now that it's gone I stand here tonight To 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 whitening And I will be gone to ramble this wide world alone. I stand on my stepstone at eventide now, The wind whistles by with a moan; How did it start and I stand here tonight, Good bye 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 whitening 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 heart strings have broken in twain, By the 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 whitening And I will be gone to ramble this wide world alone.
