I Just Came Back To Say Goodbye 1909

"Who is that down below,
a pounding on my door?"
Said Liza Greene,
"It's downright mean to wake me
from a pleasant dream!"
"It's Bill," came the reply,
"Came back to say goodbye!
I over looked it when I left,
that's just the reason why."

"I just came back to say Goodbye!"
Let me explain, I won't remain,
besides you see I don't know when
I may have time to call again.
Been cooking honey, I smell stew!
Don't look so cross, I know you're boss!
Just tell me how you're feeling now,
and then I'll say goodbye.

"I just came back to say Goodbye!"
Let me explain, I won't remain,
besides you see I don't know when
I may have time to call again.
Been cooking honey, I smell stew!
Don't look so cross, I know you're boss!
Just tell me how you're feeling now,
and then I'll say goodbye.

"It's blowing up out here,
I'll catch a cold, I fear!
Now Liza, please,
don't stand and tease!
How can you see your William freeze?"
But Liza said, "Go 'way!
Come round some other day!"
Then, as she closed the window down,
she heard poor William say:

"I just came back to say Goodbye!"
Let me explain, I won't remain,
besides you see I don't know when
I may have time to call again.
Been cooking honey, I smell stew!
Don't look so cross, I know you're boss!
Just tell me how you're feeling now,
and then I'll say goodbye.

"I just came back to say Goodbye!"
Let me explain, I won't remain,
besides you see I don't know when
I may have time to call again.
Been cooking honey, I smell stew!
Don't look so cross, I know you're boss!
Just tell me how you're feeling now,
and then I'll say goodbye.
