The Old Home Songtext
von Doc Watson

I left my old home in the mountains
And the only friends I′ve ever had
And though I have traveled this world over
My heart's been so lonesome and sad
I′m going back to the old home
Back to the place I love so well
Where the sweet waters flow and the wildflowers grow
All around the old home on the hill
I know my dear old mother loves me
And I know she's waiting there still
With the twinkle in her eye and the silver in her hair
At our old cabin home on the hill


I'm going back to the old home
Back to the place I love so well
Where the sweet waters flow and the wildflowers grow
All around the old home on the hill
It′s many years now since I saw her
And I′ve traveled many a mile
Tonight there's a light in the window
And she′s waiting at the door with a smile
I'm going back to the old home
Back to the place I love so well
Where the sweet waters flow and the wildflowers grow
All around the old home on the hill
