When The Sun Goes Down In Romany
(My Heart Goes Roaming Back To You)
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; 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
