Song Lyrics

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

Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs
