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
