TEXT:
G
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
G C
I wonder if they'll miss me when I'm gone
C G
I wonder if they pray
G
For the boy who went away
A D
And left his dear old parents all alone
REFRAIN:
G C G
Now you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
G C
You can almost see the fields of bluegrass green
C G
You can almost hear them cry
G
As they kissed their boy goodbye
A D7 G
I wonder how the old folks are at home

Just a village and a homestead on the farm
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
A sweetheart brave and true
A place we love so dear
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
