Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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
