The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Out in the cold world and far away form home

Somebody's boy is wandering alone

No one to guide him and keep his footsteps right

Somebody's boy is homeless tonight.

[Chorus:]

Bring back my boy, my wandering boy

Far, far away, wherever he may be

Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair

At their old home is waiting him there.

Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair

Yonder's the shoes my darling used to wear

Empty the cradle, the one that's loved so well

Oh how I miss him there's no toung can tell.

[Chorus]

Oh could I see him and fold him to my breast

Gladly I'd close my eyes anmd be at rest

There is no other that's left to give me joy

Bring back my boy, my wandering boy.

[Chorus]
