And the only friend I ever had

And while I travel this world over

My heart’s been so lonely and sad

Chorus:

I’m going back to the old home

Back to the place I love so well

Where the sweet waters flow

And thew wild flowers grow

Back to the old home on the hill

I know my dear old mother’s waiting

Waiting alone on the hill

With silver in her hair

And a twinkle in her eye

In the old cabin home on the hill

Chorus:

I’m going back to the old home…

Years have gone by since I saw her

I’ve traveled many a mile

But tonight there’s a light in the window

And she’s waiting at the door with a smile

Chorus:

I’m going back to the old home…
