The Stanley Brothers - The Old Home lyrics

I left my old home in the mountains And the only friends I ever had And while I rambled this world over My heart felt so lonely and sad I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill I know that dear old mother's waiting Waiting alone on that hill With the silver in her hair and a twinkle in her eye In the old cabin home on the hill I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill 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 I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill I'm going back to the old home Back to the place I love so well Where the sweet waters flow And the wildflowers grow Back to the old home on the hill
