Goodbye Babe

Goodbye Babe Jimmy McCarthy

I

From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down

At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was

If it was mine I should be glad I still function in this cage

If it's yours it only makes me more alone

See a tear rolling down

X2

This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say

So Goodbye Babe Goodbye Babe

II

I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love

Above the noise on the quay their voices rise

They must have something so strong in the face of such a change

If they can promise and promise all night

Oh their undying love hear their undying love

III

Oh what you wouldn't give to be down on the pier once again

Far away from the price of this war weary heart

Time up their in the clouds must be hard to endure when your hearts unsure

IV

It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave

Feel I'm sentenced to death without appeal

I can't pretend its all a dream what I see will disappear

But the end I can see is all too real

Knowing your taking leave
