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
