On My Way Back 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 home
Mother and dad called to heaven
I was 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 that's 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 liveI'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
