There's a happy childhood home
(There's a happy childhood home)
In my memory I can see

(In my memory I can see)

Standing out upon the hill

(Standing out upon the hill)
'Neath the shadow of the tree
('Neath the shadow of the tree)


If I only had my way
(If I only had my way)

It would give my heart a thrill
(It would give my heart a thrill)


Just to simply wander back
(Just to simply wander back)
To the cabin on the hill

(To the cabin on the hill)

Oh, I want to wander back

(Oh, I want to wander back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)


'Neath the shadow of the tree
('Neath the shadow of the tree)

I would like to linger still
(I would like to linger still)


Just to be with those I love
(Just to be with those I love)
Joy my heart would over fill

(Joy my heart would over fill)

And I want to wander back

(And I want to wander back)
To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)


But the saddest of it all
(But the saddest of it all)

I can never more return
(I can never more return)


To that happy childhood home
(To that happy childhood home)
Matters not how much I yearn

(Matters not how much I yearn)

If I only had my way

(If I only had my way)
It would give my heart a thrill
(It would give my heart a thrill)


Just to simply wander back
(Just to simply wander back)

To the cabin on the hill
(To the cabin on the hill)


Oh, I want to wander back
(Oh, I want to wander back)
To the cabin on the hill

(To the cabin on the hill)

'Neath the shadow of the tree

('Neath the shadow of the tree)
I would like to linger still
(I would like to linger still)


Just to be with those I love
(Just to be with those I love)

Joy my heart would over fill
(Joy my heart would over fill)


And I want to wander back
(And I want to wander back)
To the cabin on the hill
To the cabin on the hill
