Jabes Lyr Req: Cabin on the Hill (Bolivar Lee Shook) (9) Lyr Add: CABIN ON THE HILL (Bolivar Lee Shook) 05 Dec 00


Hi again. I listened to the recording at the slowest speed, and I was finally able to figure out the words. All of the lyrics are below. Many thanks! JB

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: Ohm 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 rill,
And I want to wander back to my cabin on the hill. CHO.

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