[Verse]

I left my old 

home in the mo

untains
              
And the only f

              
riends I ever 


had
             
And while I ra

              
mbled this wor

   
ld over
            
My heart felt 

              
so lonely and 


sad


[Chorus]
             
I'm going back

        
 to the old ho

me
              
Back to the pl

              
ace I love so 


well
           
Where the swee

t waters flow
              
And the wildfl

      
owers grow
            
Back to the ol

              
d home on the 


hill


[Verse]

I know that dear old mother's waiting
              
Waiting alone 

        
on that hill
             
With the silve

              
r in her hair 

      
and a twinkle 

in her eye
            
In the old cab

              
in home on the

 
 hill


[Chorus]
             
I'm going back

        
 to the old ho

me
              
Back to the pl

              
ace I love so 


well
           
Where the swee

t waters flow
              
And the wildfl

      
owers grow
            
Back to the ol

              
d home on the 


hill


[Verse]

Years have gone by since I saw her
              
I've traveled 

       
many a mile
             
But tonight th

              
ere's a light 

       
in the window
            
And she's wait

              
ing at the doo

         
r with a smile


[Chorus]
             
I'm going back

        
 to the old ho

me
              
Back to the pl

              
ace I love so 


well
           
Where the swee

t waters flow
              
And the wildfl

      
owers grow
            
Back to the ol

              
d home on the 


hill


[Chorus]
             
I'm going back
