A                         D             A
Out in the cold world and far away from home

A                                  E7
Some mother's boy is wandering all alone

A                      D                  A
No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right

A                    E7       A
Some mother's boy is homeless tonight
[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy

A                                            D
For there is no other that's left to give me joy

A                        E7               A
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair

A                   D            A
Is at the old home, awaiting him there
[Instrumental] A A D A A A A D A A E7 A A A D A [Verse 2]
A                        D               A
Out in the hallway there stands a vacant chair

A                                   D
Had an old pair of shoes he used to wear

A                        E7              D
Empty now the cradle, he used to love so well

A                      D          A
Oh, how I love him, no tongue can tell
[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy

A                                            D
For there is no other that's left to give me joy

A                        E7               A
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair

A                   D            A
Is at the old home, awaiting him there
[Instrumental] A A D A A A A A A A E7 A A A D A [Verse 3]
A                    D                A
Well, I remember the parting words he said

A                                       D
"We'll meet again where tears are never shed

A                 E7        A
No separation his burden so fair

A                       D           A
When life is over, I'll meet you up there
[Chorus]
A                        D         A
Oh, bring back to me, my wandering boy

A                                            D
For there is no other that's left to give me joy

A                        E7               A
Tell him his mother with faded cheeks and hair

A                   D            A      A A A A
Is at the old home, awaiting him there
