Cabin on the Hill

by B. L. Shook

Lester Flatt & The Nashville Grass (Pickin' Time) CMH

There's a happy child at home

In my memory I can see

Standing out upon a 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 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 overfill

And I want to 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 you yearn
