From the singing of Carrie Milliner and the Bobbin

Where is My Wandering Boy
(Robert Lowry - 1877)
Arranged by Chloe and Jason Roweth.
Composed by American Robert Lowry and published in 1877 as a hymn. This version, polished and simplified, has two beautiful, rearranged-arranged verses left from the original. Carrie summed this one up with a succinct "I like that!"
Where is my wandering boy tonight, the boy of my tender years,
The boy that was once so dear to me, and none was so sweet as he?
Chorus:
Oh where is my boy tonight? Oh where is my boy tonight?,
My heart o'erflows, for I love him, he knows.
Oh where is my boy tonight?
Go for my wandering boy tonight, go search for him where you will,
And bring him to me in all his plight, tell him I love him still.
