Song by Sam M. Lewis, Joe Young, and Bert Grant


Dearie, dearie,
Far across the deep blue sea;
Dearie, dearie,
Do you ever think of me?
When the Autumn leaves are turning
My thoughts turn to home;
Is there still a love light burning,
Far across the foam?
Dearie, dearie,
Tell me, are we both alone?

Lonely, lonely,
Think how lonely I must be;
Lonely, lonely,
No one seems to pity me.
I can see the corn a swaying
In the candle light,
Staying where I left you praying,
"Lead his footsteps right."
Lonely, lonely, say a pray'r for me tonight.

When the sun goes down in Romany,
My heart goes roaming back to you;
Through the dells the chapel bells are calling,
There's a grief for every leaf that's falling,
Like a tipsy gypsy I just wandered,
Far from all the loved ones that I knew,
But dearie,
When the sun goes down in Romany,
My heart goes roaming back to you.
