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

Chorus:

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 will over fill

And I want to wander back to the cabin on the hill

But the saddest of it all I can never more return

To the happy childhood home matters not how much I yern

If I only had my way it would give my heart a thrill

Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill

Chorus:
