Wandering Boy

Where is my wandering boy tonight?
The boy of my tenderest care
The boy that was once my joy and my life
A child I will love in my prayers
Just once as pure as the morning dew
As he knelt by his mother's knee
His face was as bright no hard ones is true
And none was as sweet as he

Where is my boy tonight?
Where is my boy tonight?
My heart overflows
I love him, he knows
Where is my boy tonight?
My wandering boy tonight

Can I see you right now, my wandering boy?
As fair as the olden times
Proud little smile make this home a joy
And life was a merry old child
We'll find my wandering boy tonight
Yeah search for him where you will
Springin' me with all of is blight
And you tell him that I love you still

Where is my boy tonight?
Where is my boy tonight?
My heart overflows
I love him, he knows
Where is my boy tonight?
My wandering boy tonight
Tell me, where is my boy tonight?
