Cabin Creek Stone Mill Dam

 

I think about the way it was many years ago

When the warm breeze of summer filled the air

And the sound of children playing around the old mill pond

Makes me long once more to be there

 

The water sparkles clear as it flows across the dam

Where the old stone mill used to stand

And all my childhood memories go racing through my mind

Where I was raised with mom’s helping hand

 

Chorus:

Now I’d like to go back to that home place of mine

And listen to the wonderful sounds

But the water that flows like my memory so clear

Oe’r the cabin creek stone mill dam

 

My mother had to raise us since I was just a boy

For My father died when I was just a lad

But we always had enough to eat and we had clothes to wear

We were thankful for all the things we had

 

Just place me on the hillside that overlooked the mill

Where I could often be found

Listening to the sound of the water as it flowed

Oe’r the cabin creek stone mill dam

 

 

Chorus:

Now I’d like to go back to that home place of mine…

 

Repeat Chorus:

Now I’d like to go back to that home place of mine…

 

Repeat last line:

O’er the cabin creek stone mill dam
