Cabin on the Hill

Skeeter Davis · I Love Flatt and Scruggs (RCA Victor) [1968]

(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...
