The White Horse Inn lyrics
Goodbye (from The White Horse Inn)
Words & Music by Ralph Benatsky
My heart is broken, but what care I? Such pride inside me has spoken,
I shall do my best not to cry, by and by,
When the final farewells must be spoken.
I ll join the legion, that s what I ll do, and in some far distant region,
Where human hearts are staunch and true; I shall start my life anew.
Goodbye, it s time I sought a foreign clime,
Where I may find there are hearts more kind than I leave behind.
And so I go to fight the savage foe,
Although I know that I ll be sometimes missed by the girls I ve kissed.
In some Abyssinian, French dominion I shall do my bit,
And fall for the flag if I must.
Where the desert sand is nice and sandy, I ll be full of grit,
You won t see my heels for the dust.
I ll do or die, you ll know the reason why when told,
Of bold Leopold s last stands for the fatherland.
Goodbye. Goodbye. I wish you all a last "Goodbye".
Goodbye. Goodbye. I wish you all a last "Goodbye".
