Out in the Cold World — текст песни (Bill Monroe)

Out in the cold world and far away from home
some mother`s boy is wanderin` all alone.
No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right
Some mother`s boy is homeless tonight.

Bring back to me my wandering boy
For there is no other who`s left to give me joy
Tell him that his mother with faded cheeks and hair
Is at the old home place awaiting him there

Out in the hallway then stands a vacant chair
And an old pair of shoes he used to wear
Empty is the cradle he used to love so well
Oh how I miss him no tongue can tell.

Well I rememeber those parting words he said
Well meet up yonder where tears are never shed
In that land of sunshine, away from toil and care
When life is over, I`ll meet you up there
