|
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 [Incomprehensible] |
|
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 |
