Log cabin in the lane
Oh, I'm getting old and feeble and I can't work on more The children no more gather around my door And ol' massa and ol' missus, they are sleeping side by side Near the little ol' log cabin in the lane Oh, the chimney's falling down and the roof's all caved in Letting in the sunshine and the rain And the only friend I've got now is that good old dog of mine And that little old log cabin in the lane Oh, the paths have all growed up that led around the hill The fences have all gone to decay And the creeks have all dried up where we used to go to mill And things have changed thier course another day Oh, I ain't got long to stay here, what little time I got I want to rest content while I remain Till death shall call this dog and me to find a better home And that little old log cabin in the lane
