Is that but a little shack?
…atop a West Virginia hill?
Or, my "cabin in the corner"
… of Beulah land waiting still.
For me to return
… find my way back again.
Home, where I was truly happy
…and life didn't seem in vain.
It certainly looks like heaven
…to a wayward son like me
Who left his childhood home
…where his heart will always be.
Oh if only I could tell you
…the sum of that cabin's worth
Where God's still the inspiration
…of mountaineers upon his earth.
No friend, though it look a shack
…a forlorn place to end.
''Tis far more than that!
…A place I go to mend.
My mansion on a hilltop,
…A breathtaking view,
Sweet home…West Virginia
…Wayward son's missing you…
