On My Way Back To The Old Home (G)

(Bill Monroe)



I(G)                   IV(C)
Back in the days of my childhood
       I(G)                        V(D)
In the evening when everything was still
  I(G)                          IV(C)
I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds
       I(G)        IV(D)        I(G)
And my dad in them old Kentucky hills

    (Chorus)
    I'm on my way back to the old home
    That road winds up on the hill
    But there's no light in the window
    That shines long ago where I lived

Soon my childhood days are over
I had to leave my old home
Mother and dad was called to heaven
I'm left in this world all alone

    (Chorus)

High in the hills of old Kentucky
Stands a fond spot in my memory
I'm on my way back to the old home
That light in the window I want to see

    (Chorus)
