(Boy of mine, boy of mine)
(Dear little boy of mine)

Boy of mine, boy of mine
Although my heart was aching
I seem to know that you'd want to go
Pride in your manhood waking

I'll be here, waiting, dear
Till at a glad dawn's breaking
I'll hear you say you're home to stay
Dear little boy of mine (mine)
Dear little boy of mine (dear little boy of mine)

(Boy of mine, boy of mine)
(Although my heart was breaking)
I'll hear you say you're home to stay
Dear little boy of mine (mine)
Dear little boy of mine
(Dear little boy of mine)
