dolly gray
dolly gray it's time to say goo-bye, dolly gray;
 there's no need to ask me why, dolly gray.
 there's a murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere, it's the time to do and dare, dolly gray.
 chorus good-bye, dolly, I must leave you, though it breaks my heart to go;
 something tells me I am needed, at the front to meet the foe;
 see, the soldier boys are marching, I can no longer stay;
 hark, I hear the bugle calling, good-bye dolly gray.
 there's a murmur in the air, dolly gray you can hear it everywhere, dolly gray tis the tramp of soldiers feet, in their uniforms so neat, so good-bye, till next we meet, dolly gray ---------------------------------------------------- the first verse of this song was also collected in 1978 by brad tate from tommy anderson.
