The Carter Family – I Wonder If The Old Folks Are At Home (Guitar)

    C                F               C
Well I wonder if he old folks are at home?

                                 F
I wonder if they miss me while I roam?

                          C
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away

    D                             G
And left his dear old parents all alone

          C               F             C
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane,

                                                   F
You could see the fields of blue grass where I have grown,

F
You could almost hear them cry,

         C
As they kissed their boy good bye,

       D              G                C
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home.

        C                     F        C
Just a village and a homestead on this farm,

                                           F
And a mother's love to shield you from the harm,

F
A mother's love so true, a sweetheart that loves you,

           D          G         C
A village and a homesead on the farm.

          C               F             C
You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane,

                                                   F
You could see the fields of blue grass where I have grown,

F
You could almost hear them cry,

         C
As they kissed their boy good bye,

       D              G                C
Well I wonder how the old folks are at home.
