G
I left my old home in the mountains
                            D7
And the only friends I ever had
    G                          C
And while I rambled this world over
   D7                       G
My heart felt so lonely and sad


[Chorus]
C                     G
I'm going back to the old home
                            D7
Back to the place I love so well
           G
Where the sweet waters flow
                    C
And the wildflowers grow
D7                          G
Back to the old home on the hill


[Verse]

I know that dear old mother's waiting
                      D7
Waiting alone on that hill
         G                        C
With the silver in her hair and a twinkle in her eye
       D7                    G
In the old cabin home on the hill


[Chorus]
C                     G
I'm going back to the old home
                            D7
Back to the place I love so well
           G
Where the sweet waters flow
                    C
And the wildflowers grow
D7                          G
Back to the old home on the hill


[Verse]

Years have gone by since I saw her
                     D7
I've traveled many a mile
      G                            C
But tonight there's a light in the window
          D7                         G
And she's waiting at the door with a smile


[Chorus]
C                     G
I'm going back to the old home
                            D7
Back to the place I love so well
           G
Where the sweet waters flow
                    C
And the wildflowers grow
D7                          G
Back to the old home on the hill


[Chorus]
C                     G
I'm going back to the old home
                            D7
Back to the place I love so well
           G
Where the sweet waters flow
                    C
And the wildflowers grow
D7                          G
Back to the old home on the hill
