As my mind wanders back to the quaint little shack

                     G7      C
Where in childhood I used to play


There with mother and dad we were happy and glad

       D7                      G7
As we whiled the sweet moments away


         C
We would all kneel in prayer and in reverence 

         F                      C
We would praise the redeemer on high

        
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine

                    G7       C
And I long for that mother’s love


                                                       G7
I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumbled down shack

                                                         C
Yes I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay

                                                         F
But time won’t turn back we must travel till Jesus shall call

              C                        G7        C
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall


         
Though I drifted away from childhood’s sweet play

                       G7     C
I can still hear those voices sweet

         
They are calling me back to that quaint little shack

          D7                     G7
Where the circle will never more meet


         C
But till that happy day up in heaven they say

         F                      C
We would praise the redeemer on high

       
Now in sadness I pine for that old home of mine

                    G7       C
And I long for that mother’s love


                                                        G7
I’d like to go back to that quaint little tumbled down shack

                                                         C
Yes I’d like to spend a day where in heaven forever I’ll stay

                                                         F
But time won’t turn back we must travel till Jesus shall call

              C                        G7        C
Then we’ll be happy in that land where no cabins fall


                   G7        C
In that land where no cabins fall
