Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they miss me while I'm gone
I wonder if they pray for the girl who went away
And left her dear old parents all alone
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've roamed
You could almost hear them cry
As they kissed their girl goodbye
Now, 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
The sky is bright and blue a sweetheart that loves you
A village and a homestead on the farm
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've roamed
You could almost hear them cry
As they kissed their girl goodbye
Now, I wonder how the old folks are at home
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've roamed
You could almost hear them cry
As they kissed their girl goodbye
Now, I wonder how the old folks are at home
