Clarence Ashley - The Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane lyrics

Oh, I'm getting old and feeble, I can no longer work My rusty bladed hoe I've laid to rest Old Mahssy and old Mist'us they are sleeping side by side While their spirits am a-wandering with the blessed Oh, the chimney's falling down, the roof is tumbling in The leak lets in the sunshine and the rain The only friend I've got now is this good old dog of mine In that little old log cabin in the lane Oh, it was such happy times not many years ago My friends and loved ones gathered 'round the door They would sing and dance at nighn while they played the old banjo But alas they cannot play it any more Oh, the chimney's falling down, the roof is tumbling in The leak lets in the sunshine and the rain The only friend I've got now is this good old dog of mine In that little old log cabin in the lane The hinges they have rusted, the door is falling down The roof lets in the sunshine and the rain The only friend I've got now is this good old dog of mine In that little old log cabin in the lane The paths they have growed up that led us around the hill The fence have all gone to decay The streams they have dried up where we used to go to mill Everything has changed its course another way Oh, the chimney's falling down, the roof is tumbling in The leak lets in the sunshine and the rain The only friend I've got now is this good old dog of mine In that little old log cabin in the lane I ain't got long to stay here, what little time I've got I try to rest contented while I stay Until the day d**h calls me to find a better home Than this little old log cabin in the lane Oh, the chimney's falling down, the roof is tumbling in The leak lets in the sunshine and the rain The only friend I've got now is this good old dog of mine In that little old log cabin in the lane
