G C G
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
C
I wonder if they miss me while I roam
G E7
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away
A7 D7
And left his dear old parents all alone
[Chorus]
G C G
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
C
You could see the fields of blue grass where I’ve grown
G E7
You could almost hear them cry as they kissed their boy goodbye
A7 D7 G
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
[Verse 2]
G C G
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
C
And a mother’s love to shield you from all harm
G E7
A mother’s love so true a sweetheart that loves you
A7 D7
A village and a homestead on the farm
[Chorus]
G C G
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
C
You could see the fields of blue grass where I’ve grown
G E7
You could almost hear them cry as they kissed their boy goodbye
A7 D7 G
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
