Where Is My Wandering Boy, Tonight? words and music by Rev. Robert Lowry

  1. 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:
    Where is my boy tonight
    Where is my boy tonight
    My heart o'erflows for I love him he knows
    Oh where is my boy tonight

  2. 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

  3. Oh chould 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

  4. Go for my wand'ring 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
