Out in the cold world and far away form home Somebody's boy is wandering alone No one to guide him and keep his footsteps right Somebody's boy is homeless tonight.
[CHORUS:] Bring back my boy, my wandering boy Far, far away, wherever he may be Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair At their old home is waiting him there.
Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair Yonder's the shoes my darling used to wear Empty the cradle, the one that's loved so well Oh how I miss him there's no toung can tell.
[CHORUS]
Oh could I see him and fold him to my breast Gladly I'd close my eyes anmd be at rest There is no other that's left to give me joy Bring back my boy, my wandering boy.
