[G] [C] [G]
[C] Oh, [F] I'm getting old and feeble and [Bb] I cannot work [F] no more.
I cannot stand the sunshine [C] or the rain.
[G] And [F] my mama and my papa, they [Bb] are sleeping [F] side by side,
near the little old [C] log cabin [F] in the lane.
[Bb] Oh, the chimney's falling down [F] and the roof is all caved in,
letting in the sunshine [C] and the rain.
[F] And the only friend I have left [Bb] is that good old [F] dog of mine
and the little [C] old log cabin [F] in the lane.

The fences are all gone [C] to decay.
[F] And the creeks, they [Bb] have dried up
where we used to [F] go to mill.
And things have [C] changed their course [F] another way.
[Bb] Oh, the chimney's falling down [Dm] and the roof is all caved [F] in,
letting in the sunshine [C] and the rain.

[Gm] [F] Until they'll sure call this dog and me
[Bb] to find a better [F] home than my [C] little old log cabin in [F] the lane.
