Текст песни: Goodbye Dolly Gray (1901) + перевод

I have come to say goodbye, Dolly Gray

It’s no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray

There’s a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere

It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Gray

Don’t you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray

Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray

'Tis the tramp of soldiers' true in their uniforms so blue

I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Gray

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go

Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe

See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay

Hark, I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Gray

Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray

Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Gray

On your lovely face so fair, I can see a look of fear

For your soldier boy’s not there, Dolly Gray

For the one you love so well, Dolly Gray

In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray

With his face toward the foe, as he died he murmured low

«I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray»

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go

Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe

See, the boys in blue are marching and I can no longer stay

Hark, I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Gray
