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 away
We 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 mother's love.

CHORUS:
I'd like to go back
To that quaint little tumble-down shack
I'd like to spend a day
Where in Heaven forever I'll stay
But time won't turn back
We must travel 'til Jesus shall call
Then we'll be happy in that land
Where no cabins fall

Though I drifted from childhood's 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 meet
But '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 mother's love

CHORUS

In that land where no cabins fall
