I'm On My Way To The Old Home Lyrics


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 hillsI'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 liveSoon my childhood days were over
I had to leave my old home
For dad and mother were called to heaven
I's left in this world all aloneI'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 liveHigh in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands the fondest spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
The light in the window I long to seeI'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

Bill Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) developed the style of country music known as bluegrass, which takes its name from his band, the "Blue Grass Boys," named for his home state of Kentucky. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. He is often referred to as "the father of bluegrass." In the rock (and roll) community, Bill Monroe may be best known via one of Elvis Presley's earliest recordings at Sun Records, that of Monroe's 'Blue Moon of Kentucky'. Patsy Cline also made a highly regarded version of this song.
