Lyrics
- So, you’re going away, because your heart has gone astray
And you promised me, that you would always faithful be
Go to him you love, and be as true as stars above
But your heart will yearn, and then some day you will return
Chorus
Good bye, my lady love, farewell, my turtle dove
You are the idol and darling of my heart
But some day you will come back to me, and love me tenderly
So good bye, my lady love good bye
- When the dewdrops fall, ’tis then your heart, I know, will call
So beware, my dove, don’t trust your life to some false love
But if you must go, remember, dear, I love you so
Sure as stars do shine, you’ll think of when I called you mine
