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
