  *++Lyrics:|\\
Where is my wandering boy tonight,\\
The boy of my tenderest care,\\
The boy that was once my joy and light,\\
The child of my love and prayer?\\
\\
//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?\\
\\
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.\\
\\
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!\\
\\
Go for my wandering 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.\\
\\
