D    D6   D   Dsus   D            D    D6   D   Dsus   D            

D        A                                                 D                        	
From the wild New England ranges came the word one fateful day
   A                                G                D   
To every town and village,   that a boy had lost his way.
        A                                   D                                        
All the townsfolk quickly gathered  and the wild bush horses tossed
    	A                           	   G	      D
As they went to search the ranges    for a little boy lost.
     A                            	   G          D                             	
They went out to search the ranges for the little boy lost.

            	
  A                            	   D      
A lad of just four summers Stephen Walls that is his name
      A                                     G              D
And nobody doubts his courage,   cause he's hardy and he's game.
	    A       	                   D                                                            
But there's danger in this country,   that man has seldom crossed
	 A                         	   G 	      D          	
And they wonder if they'll find alive this little boy lost.
	 A                         	   G 	      D	          	
How they wonder if they'll find alive this little boy lost.

    
      	 A                  D    	        A          	D              	
Came the night,    came the morning,    another night,  another dawning
	G                              D
And the mother weeps in silence as she kneels before the cross 
	A            	                    G	       D                                                     
And she prays to God in heaven,     for her little boy lost.


    A   	                     D         	
The little town's deserted,   no one walks upon the streets
         A        	                       G   	       D                      	
For they combed the wild bush country,    on a thousand achin' feet
	      A	                              D
They searched every hidden valley  though his trail they never crossed
	  A	                             G	        D
And their hopes are slowly fading,  for this little boy lost,
	  A	                           G	      D
And their hopes are slowly fading for this little boy lost.

    A	                           D
The blazin' sun beat down upon the earth that final day
     A	               G	                       D
With heavy hearts they prayed to God above to show the way
     A	                              D
When from the scrubby gully,   came a voice they near forgot
	   A	                             G	        D
Where's my Daddy  where's my Daddy cried the little boy lost
	   A	                             G	        D
Where's my Daddy  where's my Daddy cried the little boy lost.

       A	                        D
In the far New England ranges there's a boy that's known so well
      A	                                  G	        D
And a story that the townsfolk,   and the bushmen often tell
       A	                       D
How he fought a rugged country,  where man has seldom crossed
	A	              G	                                     D
And the mother's prayers were answered,     for her little - boy  -  lost.
