The Wandering Refugee - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE WANDERING REFUGEE. 
Farewell, mother, home and friends! we may never meet again-Soon 'mid strangers I must roam, oh! the parting gives me pain-Tho' I wander far away, lonely o'er life's stormy sea. Who will shed one gentle tear for a wandering refugee? Who will shed a gentle tear for a wandering refugee? 
Chords. Mother, oh! farewell! I must go, I'll think of thee-Oh! mother, I must leave thee, I'm a wandering refugee! 
Farewell, sunny Southern home! Home I always loved so trueoft will tear-drops dim mine eyes, when my memory flies to you! But the happy scenes of yore, I, alas! will never seeI'll be roaming far away, a lonely wandering refugee! I'll be roaming far away, a lonely wandering refugee! 
Chorus. Mother, oh! farewell! I must go, I'll think of theeoh! mother, I must leave thee now, I'm a wandering refugee!
