Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

William Smith Monroe (; September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass".The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. He described the genre as "Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound." more »

Out in the cold world and far away from home
Some mother's boy is wanderin' all alone. 
No one to guide him or keep his footsteps right 
Some mother's boy is homeless tonight.

 Bring back to me my wandering boy
 For there is no other who's left to give me joy
 Tell him that his mother with faded cheeks and hair
 Is at the old home place awaiting him there

Out in the hallway then stands a vacant chair
And an old pair of shoes he used to wear
Empty is the cradle he used to love so well
Oh how I miss him no tongue can tell.

Well I remember those parting words he said
Well meet up yonder where tears are never shed
In that land of sunshine, away from toil and care 
When life is over, I'll meet you up there
