Music & Lyrics: A.P. Carter Album: 500 Miles Away From Home (1963) [Intro] | G | E7 | A7 | D7 | | G | D7 [Verse 1]
  G          C                    G   G
I wonder how the old folks are at home

  G              G7                 C   C
I wonder if they miss me while I've gone

  C              C              G              E7
I wonder if they pray for their boy who went away

    A7               A7        D7   D7
And left his mom and papa all alone
[Chorus]
          G              C              G   G
You could see the catlle lowin' in the lane

          G                 G7                    C    C
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've grown

          C                C
You could almost hear them cry

        G                    E7
As they kissed their boy goodbye

  A7             D7               G   D7   G
I wonder how the old folks are at home
[Verse 2]
C              G                    G
  Just the village and the homestead on the farm

G          G7                              C            C
   And the mother's love there to keep you from all harm

C                                 C
 There's the mother's love so true

            G                       E7
And the sweetheart who loves you too

A7                        A7           D7   D7
 I wonder how the old folks are at home
[Chorus]
          G               C             G   G
You could hear the catlle lowin' in the lane

          G                 G7                    C    C
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've grown

          C                C
You could almost hear them cry

        G                    E7
As they kissed their boy goodbye

      A7             D7               G   E7
Oh, I wonder how the old folks are at home
[Outro]
  A7             D7               G   G
I wonder how the old folks are at home
