There's a happy childhood home in my mem'ry I can see Standing out upon the hill neath the shadow of the tree If I only had my way if I'd 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 join my heart with all the 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'd only had my way if I'd give my heart a thrill Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill Oh I want to wander back... Oh I want to wander back...
