There's a little gray mother dreaming
Of a wandering boy tonight

There's a light in her eyes a-gleaming
And the light seems to guide her eye
As she rocks back and forth by the fireside
She keeps praying for the boy that's out of sight

There's a little gray mother dreaming
Of a wandering boy tonight

There's a little gray mother dreaming
Of a wandering boy tonight

There's a light in her eyes a-gleaming
And the light seems to guide her eye
As she rocks back and forth by the fireside
She keeps praying for the boy that's out of sight

There's a little gray mother dreaming
Of a wandering boy tonight
