There's a happy childhood home in my memory 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...
Oh, I want to wander back...
