The Carter Family - The Homestead on the Farm lyrics

[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]
