Music published and for sale by W. Hail & Son,
239 Broadway.
Far, far in many lands I've wander'd,
Sadly and Inn?,
My heart, was ever turning southward,
To all the dear ones at home ;
Here, after all ray weary roaming,
At early dawn,
IV ~.ome and find the cot still standing,
L-t, oh, the OLD FOLKS are gone.
Here I wander sad and lonely,
In the dear old home,
Those that 1 loved 63 well and fondly—
All, all the old folks are gone.
Here's whore I frolick'd with my brother
Under the tree,
Here's whore I knelt beside ray mother,
From care and sorrow free ;
Still sing the little birds as sweetly,
At night and morn,
Still runs the little brook aa fleetly,
But O, the old foika are gone-
Here I wander sad and lonely, &e.
Down whore the old banana's waving,
They're Inid to rest,
Where Stance's peaceful water's laving
The trreen turf o'er their breast;
But there's a homo I know, where parliDg
Nrver can come;
O!i, for lhat homo I must be Ftarting,
There's where the old folks are gone.
Here I wander i-ad and lone' : y, &c.
