Where Is My Boy Tonight?

Verse 1

Where is my wand’ring boy tonight, The boy of my tend’rest care, The boy that was once my joy and light, The child of my love and pray’r?

Chorus

O where is my boy tonight? O where is my boy tonight? My heart o’erflows, for I love him, he knows; O where is my boy tonight?

Verse 2

Once he was pure as morning dew, As he knelt at his mother’s knee; No face was as bright, no heart more true, And none was so sweet as he.

Verse 3

O, could I see you now, my boy, As fair as in olden time, When prattle and smile made home a joy, And life was a merry chime!

Verse 4

Go for my wand’ring boy tonight; Go search for him where you will; But bring him to me with all his blight, And tell him I love him still.
