[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]
You can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green
You could 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 mother's love so true
And a sweetheart brave and true
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
[Chorus]
You can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green
You could almost hear them cry
As they kissed their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home?
You can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green
You could almost hear them cry
As they kissed their boy goodbye
I wonder how the old folks are at home?
