Dillards - Never See My Home Again lyrics

In the hollow where the pines were standing tall In the shadows where the woods were dark and still To a worn and weathered shack my thoughts keep turning back To that old mountain home below the mill I left it in the springtime when the flowers were in bloom And I told my folks I'd see them in the fall But the road keeps stretching onward from the cradle to the tomb And I guess I'll never see my folks at all I can hear the wild goose calling in the sky I can see the dry leaves falling in the lane I miss the wood fire on a cold and rainy night And the trees scratching at my windowpane I left it in the springtime when the flowers were in bloom And I told my folks I'd see them in the fall But the road keeps stretching onward from the cradle to the tomb And I guess I'll never see my folks at all As the years go by the seasons pa** away That old home keeps returning to my mind I'd give a lot to see that place so dear to me That hollow in the woods I left behind I left it in the springtime when the flowers were in bloom And all the birds were singing in the glen But the road keeps stretching onward from the cradle to the tomb And I guess I'll never see my home again
