Bright eyes good bye / words by Harry H. Williams music by Egbert Van Alstyne

VERSE 01: Hark! Hear the trumpet a calling,/Calling from hill on high/Soldiers in line are falling,/I’ve come to say goodbye/Tho’ we’re with sorrow laden,/I hate to see you cry/Don’t turn away, sweet maiden,/Come, let me dry your eye.
VERSE 02: After the battle was over,/After the war was done/Two souls were then in clover,/Two hearts that beat as one/When to the church then they hurried/She heard her sweetheart say/You should have not been worried,/I told you, dear, that day.
CHORUS: Bright Eyes, goodbye,/Bright Eyes, don’t cry/Choke down those little sighs/When the fighting is through,/I’ll return true as blue,/To no other but you, Bright Eyes.
