Out In The Cold World Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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
