    Out in the cold world and far away from home,

    somebody's boy is wandering alone.

    somebody's boy is homeless tonight.

    Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair, 
                                        E 
    yonder the shoes my darling used to wear. 
      A                                D                             A 
    Empty the cradle, the one that's loved so well, 
                                          E             A 
    how I miss him there's none can tell

Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair, 
                                  E                 A 
at their old home is waiting him there.

    Oh, could I see him and fold him to my breast, 
                                       E 
    that way I'd close my eyes and be at rest. 
        A                                D                     A 
    There is no other that's left to give me joy, 
                                           E               A 
    bring back my boy, my wandering boy. 

                     A                D                         A 
    Well I remember the parting words he said, 
                                          E 
    we'll meet again where no sad tears are shed.

    There'll be no goodbyes in that bright land so fair, 
                                             E                 A 
    when done with life, I'll meet you up there.
