Cabin On the Hill - Earl Scruggs

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
