I Wonder How

I Wonder How - Jackson Country Barn Owls

Lyrics by：The Carter Family

Composed by：The Carter Family

Oh I wonder how the old folks are at home

Oh I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone

I wonder if they pray

For the boy who went away

And left his dear old parents all alone

You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane

You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green

You could almost hear them cry

As they kissed their boy goodbye

I wonder how the old folks are at home

Just a village and a homestead on the farm

Just a mother's love to shield you from all harm

A mother's love so true

And a sweetheart brave and true

A village and a homestead on the farm

You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane

You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green

You could almost hear them cry

As they kissed their boy goodbye

I wonder how the old folks are at home

Oh I wonder how the old folks are at home

Oh I wonder if they miss me when I'm gone

I wonder if they pray

For the boy who went away

And left his dear old parents all alone

You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane

You could almost see the fields of bluegrass green

You could almost hear them cry

As they kissed their boy goodbye

I wonder how the old folks are at home
