Lyrics
(German folk tune, Lyrics by Edward Thatcher, 1903)
1. Swallow goodbye,
Why must you fly?
June of another year
You’ll find me waiting here,
Swallow goodbye,
Why must you fly?
2. Swallow don’t go,
Stay through the snow,
Snowflakes you’ll love to see,
Falling so merrily,
Swallow don’t go,
Stay through the snow
