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
