There's a happy childhood home in my memory I can see
Standing out upon the hill neath the shadow of a 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 wonder 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 can never more return
To that happy childhood home matters not how much I yearn
If only had my way it would give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wander back to the cabin on the hill
