I WONDER HOW THE OLD FOLKS ARE AT HOME

A cover of an old Mac Wiseman recording. Mac has been almost as much an inspiration to me as Hank Williams, Sr.

I WONDER HOW THE OLD FOLKS ARE AT HOME
KEY OF "E" (CAPO 2ND FRET, PLAY "D")

[D] Well I wonder how the [G] old folks are at [D] home
I wonder if they miss me while I [G] roam
I wonder if they [D] pray for the boy who went away
And [E] left his dear old parents all a- [A7] lone


(CHORUS): You could [D] hear the cattle [G] lowing in the [D] lane You could see the fields of blue grass where I've [G] grown You could almost hear them [D] cry as they kissed their boy goodbye Well I [E] wonder how the [A7] old folks are at [D] home


[D] Just a village and a [G] homestead on the [D] farm
And a mother's love to shield you from all [G] harm
A mother's love so [D] true, a sweetheart that loves you
A [E] village and a homestead on the [A7] farm

(CHORUS)

TAG: Yes, I [E] wonder how the [A7] old folks are at [D] home

Cool song, and great that you put the lyrics on the song also. Unfortunately, I cannot read the last verse. Great pickin' you sound so natural. Loved it!

Hi Friend,You do a grand job on this song

Mac Wiseman was my Late Mother's singer and if she was living today she'd be proud.You surely deserve 5000 Stars

God Bless..Eddie

nice job! what kind of guitar are you pickin on?

[foneczar]

Thanks, Kieth. The guitar is a Martin HDO limited edition. It is number 530 of 650, that Martin made to honor the Grand Ole Opry. It is essentially an HD-28, with a white micarta fret board with the words, "WSM GRAND OLE OPRY" inlaid in red abalone. There is a microphone on the headstock inlaid with abalone. The headstock combined wth the fret board is supposed to look like the mic and stand on the G.O.O. Thanks for asking. /Ben
