Hi! There's a great song on Ginny Hawker and Kay Justice's album "Come All You Tenderhearted." The song is called "Cabin on the Hill," and it's by B. L. Shook. There are a couple of words I can't understand. Can anyone fill in the blanks? (See below.) Many thanks!

CABIN ON THE HILL
B. L. Shook

There's a happy childhood home in my memory I can see
Standing out upon the hill in the shadow the tree
If I only had my wish it would give my heart a thrill
Just to simply wander back to my cabin on the hill

Chorus:
Oh, I want to wander back to my cabin on the hill
In the shadow the tree I would like to linger still
Just to be with those I love, joy my heart would overfill
And I want to want to wander back to my cabin on the hill

I remember well the day it is fresh in memory
Watching birdies build a nest in the branches of the tree
In my mind I see the spot near the rippling of the ???
And I want to wander back to my cabin on the hill

Chorus

But the saddest of it all, I could never more return
To the happy childhood home, matters not how much I yearn
But I have a better home where they'll never ???
It's a mansion in the sky and it stands upon the hill

Chorus
