If I Should Wander Back Tonight Songtext
von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

For many years, I′ve been a rolling stone, my darlin',
Liky a Gypsy I have roamed from place to place
Fortune never came to me, how happy I would be
Just to look again upon your smiling face

Now if I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love′s own tender light?
Would your arms be empty dear, would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if I wandered back tonight?


When budding flowers lend their fragrance to the springtime,
I recall the roses twining 'round your door,
Fancy then I homeward stray, and I seem to hear you say,
That you love me, as you did in days of yore.

Now if I should wander back tonight, would you be waiting?
Would your eyes be filled with love's own tender light?
Would your arms be empty dear, would you thrill to find me near?
Would you love me if, I wandered back tonight?

Last night I dreamed that you and I were back together
I held your hand so gently in my own
Heard you say we′d never part as I pressed you to my heart
Then I woke in tears to find myself alone

Now if I should wander...
