On My Way Back To The Old Home

Back in the days of my childhood

In the evening when everything was still

I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds

With my dad in the old Kentucky hills

I'm on my way back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

But there's no light in the window

That shines on the road where I live

Soon my childhood days are over

I had to leave my home

Mother and dad were called to heaven

I'm left in this world all alone

I'm on my way back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

But there's no light in the window

That shines on the road where I live

High in the hills of ol' Kentucky

Stand the fondest spot that's in my memory

I'm on my way back to the old home

The light in the window I've longed to see

I'm on my way back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

But there's no light in the window

That shined long ago where I live

I'm on my way back to the old home

The road winds on up the hill

But there's no light in the window

That shines on the road where I live
