I'm On My Way To The Old Home Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Back in the days of my childhood 

In the evening when everything was still 

I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds 

With my dad in the old Kentucky hills 

I'm on my way back to the old home 

The road winds on up the hill 

But there's no light in the window 

That shined long ago where I live 

Soon my childhood days were over 

I had to leave my old home 

For dad and mother were called to heaven 

I's left in this world all alone 

I'm on my way back to the old home 

The road winds on up the hill 

But there's no light in the window 

That shined long ago where I live 

High in the hills of old Kentucky 

Stands the fondest spot in my memory 

I'm on my way back to the old home 

The light in the window I long to see 

I'm on my way back to the old home 

The road winds on up the hill 

But there's no light in the window 

That shined long ago where I live
