[1] Well I wonder how the [4] old folks are at [1] home
I wonder if they miss me while I [4] roam
I wonder if they pray for the [1] boy who went away
And [2maj] left his dear old parents all [5] alone

You could [1] hear the cattle [4] lowing in the [1] lane
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've [4] grown
You could almost hear them cry as they [1] kissed their boy goodbye
Well I [2maj] wonder how the [5] old folks are at [1] home

Just a village and a homestead on the farm
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
A mother's love so true a sweetheart that loves you
A village and a homestead on the farm
