Good Bye Miss Liberty 1909

You sail away
from New York Bay
to cross the briny sea,
with heavy heart
it's hard to part
from dear Miss Liberty.
The sight is grand;
with light in hand
she guides you on your way,
and as you leave
old New York Town
you turn to her and say:

Good Bye, Miss Liberty
light of my heart, farewell;
The true love I bear for you,
no Yankee heart can tell,
Light me safely on my way,
O'er the deep blue sea,
Till I return to you,
and the old "Red, White and Blue"
Good Bye, Miss Liberty!

Good Bye, Miss Liberty
light of my heart, farewell;
The true love I bear for you,
no Yankee heart can tell,
Light me safely on my way,
O'er the deep blue sea,
Till I return to you,
and the old "Red, White and Blue"
Good Bye, Miss Liberty!

When out of sight
of that old light
in foreign lands you roam,
You know she's there
to guard with care
the ones you love at home,
So proud to greet
each Yankee fleet
that enters New York Bay
and that's just why
while sailing by,
each boy in blue will say:

Good Bye, Miss Liberty
light of my heart, farewell;
The true love I bear for you,
no Yankee heart can tell,
Light me safely on my way,
O'er the deep blue sea,
Till I return to you,
and the old "Red, White and Blue"
Good Bye, Miss Liberty!

Good Bye, Miss Liberty
light of my heart, farewell;
The true love I bear for you,
no Yankee heart can tell,
Light me safely on my way,
O'er the deep blue sea,
Till I return to you,
and the old "Red, White and Blue"
Good Bye, Miss Liberty!
