"Cabin on the Hill" Lyrics

(B.L. Shook - Walter Koken)

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 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.

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...
