Out in the cold world and far away from home   some mother's boy is wanderin' all alone.    No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right    Some mother's boy is homeless tonight.      Bring back to me my wandering boy   For there is no other who's left to give me joy   Tell him that his mother with faded cheeks and hair   Is at the old home place awaiting him there      Out in the hallway then stands a vacant chair   And an old pair of shoes he used to wear   Empty is the cradle he used to love so well   Oh how I miss him no tongue can tell.      Well I rememeber those parting words he said   Well meet up yonder where tears are never shed   In that land of sunshine, away from toil and care    When life is over, I'll meet you up there
