[Verse 1]Well, I wonder how the old folks are at homeI wonder if they'll miss me when I'm gone?I wonder if they pray for their boy who went awayAnd left his dear old parents all alone[Chorus]You can hear the cattle lowing in the laneYou could almost see the fields of bluegrass greenYou could almost hear them cryAs they kissed their boy goodbyeI wonder how the old folks are at home?[Verse 2]Just a village and a homestead on the farmAnd a mother's love to shield you from all harmA mother's love so trueAnd a sweetheart brave and trueJust a village and a homestead on the farm[Chorus]You can hear the cattle lowing in the laneYou could almost see the fields of bluegrass greenYou could almost hear them cryAs they kissed their boy goodbyeI wonder how the old folks are at home?You can hear the cattle lowing in the laneYou could almost see the fields of bluegrass greenYou could almost hear them cryAs they kissed their boy goodbyeI wonder how the old folks are at home?
