G C
Back in the days of my childhood
G D
In the evening when everything was still
G C
I used to sit and listen to the fox hounds
G D G
With my dad in the old Kentucky hills
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way back to the old home
The road winds on up the hill
G C
But there's no light in the window
G D G
That shined long ago where I lived
[Verse 2]
G C
Soon my childhood days were over
G D
I had to leave my old home
G C
For my dad and mom were called to heaven
G D G
I was left in this world all alone
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way back to the old home
The road winds on up the hill
G C
But there's no light in the window
G D G
That shined long ago where I lived
[Verse 3]
G C
High in the hills of old Kentucky
G D
Stands the fondest spot in my memory
G C
I’m on my way back to the old home
G D G
The light in the window I long to see
[Chorus]
G C
I'm on my way back to the old home
G D
The road winds on up the hill
G C
But there's no light in the window
G D G
That shined long ago where I lived
