Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane

Oh, I'm getting old and feeble
And I cannot work no more
I cannot stand the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend that's left me is that good ol' dog of mine
In the little old log cabin in the lane

'Twas a happy place to be here
Not many years ago
My friends used to gather 'round the door
They would sing and dance at night
While I played the ol' banjo
But, alas, I cannot play it anymore

(Oh, the chimney's fallen down
The roof is tumblin' in
The leaks let in the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend I got now's that good ol' dog of mine
In the little old log cabin in the lane)

(Instrumental autoharp solo)

The paths have all grown up that led around the hill
The bridges have begun to decay
And the creek has all dried up where we used to go to the mill
For time has changed it's course another way

I ain't got long to stay here, what little time I got
I'll try to rest until He calls to me
And then that good ol' dog and me shall find a better home
Than that little old log cabin in the lane

(Oh, the chimney's fallen down
The roof is tumblin' in
The leaks let in the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend I got now's that good ol' dog of mine
In the little old log cabin in the lane)

(Short autoharp solo)

(Oh, the hinges they are rusted
And the door has tumbled down
The leaks let in the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend I got now's that good ol' dog of mine
In the little old log cabin in the lane.)
