Bring Back My Boy
Bring Back My Boy
2568
Out in the cold world and far away from home
Some mother’s boy is wandering all alone:
No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right:
Some mother’s boy is honielers tonight:
Search till you find him and bring him back to me
Far far away wherever he may be
Tell him his mother, with faded cheeks and hair,”
At the old home is waiting for him there
Chorus
Bring back my boy, my wandering boy:
There is no other left to give me Joy
Tell him his mother, with faded cheeks and hair,
At the old home is waiting for him there
Oh could I see him and press him to my breast
Giadis I’d close my eyes and be at rest!
There’s no other left to bring me loy;
Bring back to me my wandering boy,
Well I remember the parting words he said:
“We’ll meet et up
There’ll there where no farewells are said: be no good-bys in that bright world so fair
When done with life I’ll meet you un there
Out in the hall there stands a vacant chair:
Chorus,
Yonder the shoes that he once used to wear:
Empty the cradle that he once loved so well:
On how I love him no one can tell!
Could I forget him or cease to hold him dear?
Still he’s my has as when he was here:
Though he has wandered in darkness and ein
Bring him to me, I will welcome him in
Chorus
