The Wandering Boy |
| Out in the cold world and far away from home |
| Some mother’s boy is wandering all alone |
| No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right |
| Some mother’s boy is homeless tonight |
| Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy |
| For there is no other that’s left to give me joy |
| Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair |
| Is at the old home, awaiting him there |
| Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair |
| Had an old pair of shoes he used to wear |
| Empty now the cradle, he used to love so well |
| Oh, how I love him, no tongue can tell |
| Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy |
| For there is no other that’s left to give me joy |
| Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair |
| Is at the old home, awaiting him there |
| Well, I remember the parting words he said |
| «We'll meet again where tears are never shed |
| No separation |
| When life is over, I’ll meet you up there |
| Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy |
| For there is no other that’s left to give me joy |
| Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair |
| Is at the old home, awaiting him there |
