I think about the way it was many years agoWhen the warm breeze of summer filled the air And the sound of children playing around the old mill pond Makes me long once more to be there The water sparkles clear as it flows across the dam Where the old stone mill used to stand And all my childhood memories go racing through my mind Where I was raised with mom's helping hand Chorus Now I'd like to go back to that homeplace of mine And listen to the wonderful sound Of the water that flows, like my memory, so clear O'er the Cabin Creek stone mill dam My mother had to raise us since I was just a boy For my father died when I was just a lad But we always had enough to eat and we had clothes to wear We were thankful for all the things we had Just place me on the hillside that overlooks the mill Where I could often be found Listening to the sound of the water as it flows O'er the Cabin Creek stone mill dam Chorus O'er the Cabin Creek stone mill dam O'er the Cabin Creek stone mill dam
