[Verse 1]
Well, I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they'll miss me when I'm gone?
I wonder if they pray for their boy who went away
And left his dear old parents all alone
[Chorus]
Now, you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You can almost see the fields of bluegra** green
You can almost hear them cry, as they kissed their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home?
[Verse 2]
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, the place to love so dear
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
[Chorus]
