Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight?
Composer(s): Dave Manley



The scene is a lonely cottage that once was bright and gay
Where a mother dear is waiting for the girl that went away
Each minute seemed an hour, each hour seems a year 
each moment brings a thought of her 
each thought just brings a tear 
Tears mingle with her sighs 
Where is my girl she cries

Just think of you darling mother 
Just think of her tonight
Return if you are wandering 
Her love is your guiding light
No matter what the past dear 
No matter what the shame 
What even if the world does jeer 
She loves you just the same 
Leave all the glare and light 
She prays for you tonight

Where is my wandering girl tonight 
Oh where oh where can she be 
She left the old home for the bright city lights 
Please send her back to me 
Tell her I am growing old 
And I soon will pass away
For there's no place like home 
Oh where is my girlie my child tonight
