Billy Strings - Wandering Boy Lyrics

Billy Strings Lyrics

"Wandering Boy"

Where is my wandering boy tonight?
The boy of my tenderest care
The boy that was once full of life
The child of my tenderest care

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

Where is my boy tonight?
Oh, where is my boy tonight?
My heart overflows
I love him, he knows
Oh, where is my boy tonight?

Go for my wandering boy tonight
Go search for him where you will
But bring him to me with all your light
And tell him I love him still

Where is my boy tonight?
Oh, where is my boy tonight?
My heart overflows
I love him, he knows
Oh, where is my boy tonight?
My heart overflows
I love him, he knows
Oh, where is my boy tonight?

Your harmonies are beautiful
The singin's phew, wow
We can, take it, take it back
It's beautiful, ain't it?
Yeah, it makes me kind of crack a little bit, you know?
Yeah, I know
No
