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
