The Wandering Boy

from High and Lonesome Sounds by Theo

/

lyrics

[Roscoe Holcomb's The Wandering Boy conveys more sorrow and tenderness than I've heard any other a cappella song manage. I can only hide behind my guitar in shame and reverence]

As I travel this wide world over
Friends I find wherever I roam
But to me there's none like Mother
None like Mother dear at home

They may treat me very kindly
Bid me welcome everywhere
But it just only reminds me
Of a loving mother's care

I remembered well how Mother
Used to slew the slightest pain
With her tender words and kisses
She'd soon make me well again

Oh God wilt thou have mercy
On my darling precious boy
Save, protect him Lord I pray thee
Let not sin his soul destroy
