[00:01.48]Out in the cold world and far away from home
[00:09.55]Somebody's boy is wandering alone
[00:17.32]No one to guide him and keep his footsteps right
[00:25.94]Somebody's boy is homeless tonight
[00:34.15]
[00:34.53]Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair
[00:42.54]Yonder's the shoes my darling used to wear
[00:50.56]Empty the cradle, the one that's loved so well
[01:00.10]How I miss him, there's non can tell
[01:08.81]
[01:09.15]Bring back my boy, my wandering boy
[01:16.04]Far, far away, wherever he may be
[01:24.51]Tell him his mother, with faded cheeks and hair

[01:57.40]There is no other that's left to give me joy
[02:06.08]Bring back my boy, my wandering boy
[02:14.06]
[02:14.48]Well I remember the parting words he said
[02:22.25]We'll meet again where no sad tears are shed
[02:30.17]There'll be no goodbyes in that bright land so fair
[02:38.64]When, done with life, I'll meet you up there
[02:46.47]
[02:46.84]Bring back my boy, my wandering boy
[02:53.93]Far, far away, wherever he may be
[03:02.06]Tell him his mother, with faded cheeks and hair
[03:10.09]At their old home is waiting him there
