Wandering Boy

As I travel this wide world over Friends I find, wherever I roam Still 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 remember well how mother Used to slew the slightest pain With her tender words and kisses She'd soon make me well again Mother would thou have me though I roam Protect me when I am far from home
