Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
F
I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone
C A7
I wonder if they pray for the girl who went away
D7 G7
And left her dear old parents so alone

Now you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
F
You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam
C A7
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their girl goodbye
D7 G7 C
I wonder how the old folks are at home
F C
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
F
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
C A7
The sky is bright and blue a sweetheart that loves you
D7 G7
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
F C
Now you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
F
You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam
C A7
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their girl goodbye
D7 G7 C
I wonder how the old folks are at home
