As my mind wanders back to the quaint little shack
Where in childhood, I used to play
There with mother and dad, we were happy and glad
As we whiled the sweet moments awayWe would all kneel in prayer and in reverence there
We would praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness, I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mothers loveId like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
Yes, Id like to spend a day where in heaven, forever, Ill stay
But time wont turn back, we must travel 'til Jesus shall call
Then well be happy in that land where no cabins fallThough I drifted away from childhoods sweet play
I can still hear those voices sweet
They are calling me back to that quaint little shack
Where the circle will never more meetBut 'til that happy day, up in heaven they say
We will praise the redeemer on high
Now in sadness, I pine for that old home of mine
And I long for that mothers loveId like to go back to that quaint little tumble-down shack
Yes, Id like to spend a day where in heaven, forever, Ill stay
But time wont turn back, we must travel 'til Jesus shall call
Then well be happy in that land where no cabins fall
In that land where no cabins fall
