A               D                A    D A
Well, I won-der how the old folks are at home
         A               A7               D   D/E
Well, I won-der if they miss me when I'm gone
   D                               A           G F#7
I won-der if they pray, for their boy who went a-way
     B7                               E7     D/F# E7
And left his dear old par-ents all a-lone...


[Chorus]
           A                D               A    D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
          A                 A7                  D     D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
          D                  A                              G   F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
  B7              E7                A    D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.
 

[Verse]
        A              D                 A    D A
Just a vill-age and a home-stead on the farm,
      A                  A7                  D    D/E
And a mot-her's love to shield you from all harm;
   D                             A                 G   F#7
A mot-her's love so true, and a sweet-heart brave and true,
   B7                               E7      D/F# E7
A vill-age and a home-stead on the farm.


[Chorus]
           A                D               A    D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
          A                 A7                  D     D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
          D                  A                              G   F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
  B7              E7                A    D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.


[Chorus]
           A                D               A    D A
You could hear the cat-tle low-ing in the lane,
          A                 A7                  D     D/E
You could al-most see the fields of blue-grass green.
          D                  A                              G   F#7
You could al-most hear them cry, as they kis-sed their boy good-bye,
  B7              E7                A    D A
I won-der how the old folks are at home.
