Verse 1

C                     F                C
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
                                  F
I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone
                              C             A7
I wonder if they pray for the girl who went away
    D7                           G7
And left her dear old parents so alone

Verse 2

    C                       F             C
Now you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
                                             F
You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam
                                          C          A7
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their girl goodbye
  D7             G7               C
I wonder how the old folks are at home

Verse 3

                     F                C
Just a village and a homestead on the farm
                                           F
And a mother's love to shield you from all harm
                             C                     A7
The sky is bright and blue a sweetheart that loves you
     D7                               G7
Just a village and a homestead on the farm

Verse 4

                            F             C
Now you can hear the cattle lowing in the lane
                                             F
You can see the fields of blue grass where I roam
                                          C          A7
You can almost hear them cry as they kiss their girl goodbye
  D7             G7               C
I wonder how the old folks are at home
