Mah Lindy Jane she began to sing Good-bye, Dolly Gray

I am pretty sure of this, though it really sound more like Bye Bye, rather than the correct song title Good-bye, Dolly Gray, by Will D. Cobb & Paul Barnes, from about 1897.

Can't help on the "bare" problem. Still pretty much mumble, mumble, though it does seem to refer in some way to a house that is bare.
