Homestead On The Farm Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I wonder how the old folks are at home 

I wonder if they miss me while I've gone 

I wonder if they pray for their boy who went away 

And left his mom and papa all alone 

You could see the cattle lowin' in the lane 

You could see the fields of blue grass where I've grown 

You could almost hear them cry as they kissed their boy goodbye 

I wonder how the old folks are at home 

Just the village and the homestead on the farm 

And the mother's love there to keep you from all harm 

There's the mother's love so true and the sweetheart who loves you too 

I wonder how the old folks are at home 

You could see the cattle lowin' in the lane 

You could see the fields of blue grass where I've grown 

You could almost hear them cry as they kissed their boy goodbye 

I wonder how the old folks are at home 

I wonder how the old folks are at home
