Bill Monroe Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane Lyrics

Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane Lyrics

Oh I'm gettin' old and feeble and I cannot work no more

The children no more gather 'round my door

And old masters and old mrs they are sleepin' side by side

Near the little old log cabin in the lane



   Oh the chimney's fallen down and the roof's all caved in

   Lettin' in the sunshine and the rain

   And the only friend I've got now is that good old dag of mine

   And the little old log cabin in the lane





Oh the trees have all growed up that lead 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 their course another way



Oh I ain't got long to stay here what little time I've got

I want to rest content wile I remain

'Til death shall call this dog and me to find a better home

And a little old log cabin in the lane
