Goodbye Dolly Grey by Original London Cast of War Horse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It is time to say goodbye, Dolly Grey
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Grey
There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere
It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Grey
Can you hear the sound of feet, Dolly Grey?
Marching in the village street, Dolly Grey
It's the soldier boys so true in their uniforms so blue
I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Grey
[Chorus]
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 soldier boys are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey
[Verse 2]
Can you hear the sound of drums, Dolly Grey?
Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Grey
On your charming face so fair, I can see a look of fear
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Grey
For the one you loved so well, Dolly Grey
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Grey
With his face toward the foe, you could hear 'im murmur low:
"I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Grey..."
[Chorus]
Goodbye Dolly, I must leave you
Though it breaks my heart to go
(Breaks my 'eart!)
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
See, the soldier boys are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey
It is time to say goodbye, Dolly Grey
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Grey
There's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere
It is the time to do and dare, Dolly Grey
Can you hear the sound of feet, Dolly Grey?
Marching in the village street, Dolly Grey
It's the soldier boys so true in their uniforms so blue
I must say goodbye to you, Dolly Grey
[Chorus]
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 soldier boys are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey
[Verse 2]
Can you hear the sound of drums, Dolly Grey?
Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Grey
On your charming face so fair, I can see a look of fear
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Grey
For the one you loved so well, Dolly Grey
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Grey
With his face toward the foe, you could hear 'im murmur low:
"I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Grey..."
[Chorus]
Goodbye Dolly, I must leave you
Though it breaks my heart to go
(Breaks my 'eart!)
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
See, the soldier boys are marching and I can no longer stay
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, goodbye Dolly Grey
