There's a happy childhood home in my memory I can see Standing out upon the hill 'neath the shadow of the tree If I only had my way it would give my heart a thrill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
Oh I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill 'Neath the shadow of the tree I would like to linger still Just to be with those I love joy my heart would over fill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
But the saddest of it all I can never more return To that happy childhood home matters not how much I yearn If I only had my way it would give my heart a thrill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill.
