Little Log Cabin in the Lane
Sung by: Gus Mahon (1935)Written by Will S. Hayes (1875)
(A) I am (D) getting old and feeble,
I (A) cannot work no more,
I've (E) laid the rusted bladed hoe to (A) rest,
While old (D) Master and old Mistress
are (A) slaving side by side,
My (E) spirit's ever rolling with the (A) blest,
Chorus:
Yet I (D) feel so very happy,
I'm (A) singing all the day,
As I (D) labor in the sunshine and the (A) rain,
But the (D) only one I'm loving,
Is that (A) little girl of mine,
And I (E) promised her I'd never drink (A) again,
Well, I (D) see a change about the place,
The (A) darkies are all gone,
I (E) cannot hear them singing in the (A) cane,
As they (D) used to sing and dance
And pick and (A) play that old banjo,
But at (E) last I cannot hear them any (A) more,
Chorus:
Yet I (D) feel so very happy,
I'm (A) singing all the day,
As I (D) labor in the sunshine and the (A) rain,
But the (D) only one I'm loving,
Is that little girl of (A) mine,
And I (E) promised her I'd never drink (A) again,
Well, the (D) hinges are all rusting,
The (A) doors are falling down,
The (E) roof lets in the sunshine and the (A) rain,
But the (D) only friend that loves me,
That (A) good old dog of mine,
In our (E) little log cabin in the (A) lane,
Chorus:
Yet I (D) feel so very happy,
I'm (A) singing all the day,
As I (D) labor in the sunshine and the (A) rain,
But the (D) only one I'm loving,
Is that little girl of (A) mine,
And I (E) promised her I'd never drink (A) again.
