Rosa Mrs. Mac. Steward
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, he's gone,
You sigh and cry,
for why, he's gone,
Oh fie, come dry
your eye, he's gone,
He's running along in the rain, he's gone, He's running along in the rain, ha ha!, He's running along in the rain, ha ha!,
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, he's gone,
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, he's gone,
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, he's gone,
He's running along in the rain. He's running along in the rain. He's running along in the rain.
He's off at last, he's off at last, He's off at last, he's off at last,
He won't come back, the train is fast. He won't come back, the train is fast.
The night is black, the night is black
He'll catch, he'll catch the train I know.
Tis not so clear, dear Mrs. Mac.
For listen here, for listen here,
the clock's put back,
the clock's put back,
It's half an hour too slow,
it's half an hour too slow!
He's running along, along in the rain,
No danger of missing,
of missing his train, he's gone!
He's gone, He's gone,
He's gone,
He's gone, He's gone, He's gone,
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, he's gone,
You sigh, and cry,
for why? he's gone,
Oh! fie, come dry
your eye, he's gone,
He's running along in the rain,
he's gone.
He's running along in the rain,
ha ha!
He's running along in the rain,
ha ha!
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, good bye,
Good bye, you sigh,
and cry, for why?
Good bye, good bye,
come dry your eye,
Ah! He is gone, Ah! He is gone, Ah! He is gone,
Good bye, good bye,
good bye, good bye,
Good bye, you sigh
and cry, for why?
Good bye, good bye,
come dry your eye,
Ah! He is gone. Ah! He is gone. Ah! He is gone.
Good bye,
Good bye, Good bye,
Good bye,
Good bye, Good bye,
He's gone. He's gone. He's gone.
