Cabin on the Hill

Cat. #0980 (MFH #127) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on March 11, 1970

VERSE 1
There's a happy child at home
In my memory I can see
Standin' out upon th hill
'neath th shadow of th tree
If I only had th ones I love
It give my heart a thrill
O, I'm gonna wander back
To th cabin on th hill

VERSE 2
O, I want'a wander back
To th cabin on th hill
In th shadow of th tree
I would like to live
Just to be with those I love
It give my heart a thrill
O, I want'a to wander back
To th cabin on th hill

VERSE 3
But th saddest of it all
I can never more return
To th happy childhood home
Where I once't used to roam
If only had waited
It would give my heart a thrill
O, I want'a wander back
To th cabin on th hill

VERSE 4
O, I want'a wander back
To th cabin on th hill
In th shadow of th trees
I would like to linger still
Just to be with those I love
My heart would overfill
O, I want'a wander back
To th cabin on th hill
