Good on yer Bruce ... And thanks to Joe Offer. I've copied out the Lyrics because in some browsers they are illegible. I tried AOL's and couldn't read a darn thing but using Netscape here they are.

GOOD-BYE DOLLY GRAY

I have come to say good-bye, Dolly Gray.
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray.
There's a murmur in the air.
You can hear it everywhere.
It is time to do or dare, Dolly Gray.

Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray,
Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray?
'Tis the tramp of soldiers true
In their uniforms of blue.
I must say good-bye to you, Dolly Gray.

REFRAIN: Good-bye, Dolly I must leave you,
Tho' it breaks my heart to go.
Something tells me I am needed
At the front to fight the foe.
See the boys in blue are marching
And I can no longer stay.
Hark! I hear the bugle calling.
Good-bye, Dolly Gray!

Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly Gray.
Hark from war the reg'ment comes, Dolly Gray.
On your lovely face so fair
I can see a look of care
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray.

For the one you loved so well, Dolly Gray,
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray.
With his face towards the foe,
As he died he murmured low,
"I must say good-bye and go, Dolly Gray."

REFRAIN
