Dora's Gone Lyrics

Dora's gone

Uncle Willie's got no place to stay

Uncle Willie's got no more to say

He's awful sad. He's awful sad

More than 60 years on a farm with children around them

Living in a country far away from where they were born

Long time ago

Dora came with Willie their home to find

Leaving family far behind

They went away, they went to pray

In a land where a smile comes free, a promise is golden

Living in a land where no one can break your door

Willie kept trying. Dora was dying

He held her in his arms

She smiled when he spoke of the family, the farm

Memories from the old country

To a place that's wild, that's free

Suddenly Dora's gone

Suddenly Dora's gone

She's gone

Old man walks slow

Thinking of a time long ago

No longer thinking where to go

Lives in a yesterday, memories fading away

Stops in a store, buys milk and butter

His fingers are worn, his heart is torn

What is it for

For Dora, to be with her again

For Dora, to be with her again

Someday
