American Old Time Song Lyrics: 13 Where Is My Wandering Boy To Night
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 13
Where is My Wandering Boy To-Night?
Where is my wandering boy to-night?
The boy of my tend'rest care;
The boy that was once my joy and light,
The child of my love And prayer.
Chorus.
O where is my boy to-night?
O where is my boy to-night?
My heart o'erflows,
For I love him, he knows;
O where is my boy to-night?
Once he was pure as morning dew,
As he knelt at his mother's knee;
No face was so bright, no heart more true.
And none was so sweet as he.-Chorus.
O could I see him now, my boy,
As fair as in olden time;
When prattle and smile made home a joy,
And life was a merry chime.-Chorus.
iGo for my wandering boy to-night,
Go search for him where you will;
But bring him to me with all his blight,
And tell him I love him still.-Chorus.
