|f_annotation=[[File:Dacosta.jpg |400px|thumb|left|Da Costa Woltz's Southern Broadcasters. Frank Jenkins is the banjo player to the far right.]]'''WANDERING BOY.''' American, Song Air (4/4 time). USA, western North Carolina. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is sourced to the 1927 solo fiddle recording by Dobson, Surry County, North Carolina, fiddler and banjo player Frank Jenkins (1888-c.1945) of the intertwined groups Da Costa Woltz's Southern Broadcasters as well as Frank Jenkins' Pilot Mountaineers. The group recorded only one time, in Richmond, Indiana, cutting 18 sides over a few days. Jenkins' solo is an instrumental version of a song air.

The Carter Family recorded a song called "Wandering Boy," but it employs a distanced melody from what Jenkins played.
