The Little Old Log Cabin In the Lane

Now, I'm getting old and feeble and I cannot work no more
My rusty bladed hoe I’ve laid to rest
Ol' masters and old mistress, they are sleeping side by side
Their spirits now are roaming with the blessed

Things have changed about the place now and in darkness they have gone
To another year and singing in the cane
But the only friend that's left here is that good old dog of mine
And the little old log cabin in the lane

Timbers falling down and the roof all caved in
Lets in the sunshine and the rain
But there's angels watching over me when I lay down to sleep
In my little old log cabin in the lane

Now this footpath is growed up that led us 'round the hill
The fence is all gone to decay
The pond, it done dried up where we walked to the mill
Things got turned in course another way

Well, I ain't got long to stay here, what little time I've got
I'll try and rest contented while remain
Until death shall call this dog and me to find a better home
Than our little old log cabin in the lane

Timbers falling down and the roof all caved in
Lets in the sunshine and the rain
But there's angels watching over me when I lay down to sleep
In my little old log cabin in the lane
