G                 C           G
While strolling a long in the country

  D7                         G
Reviewing the scenes new and old

               C             G
I found an old fashioned log cabin

   D7                     G
So beautiful there to be hold

 
  C                        G
A stranger was standing in silence

    D7                       G
His eyes firmly fixed on the door

                  C       G
My heart ached in pity to see him

    D7                           G
For these were the words that it bore

 
             C            G
And the sign read an old cabin for sale

   D7                   G
An old Oaken bucket and well

                C      G
Easy terms just keep a log on the fire

      D7                          G
And a light burning bright in the dell

 
     C                       G
Many years an old couple did patiently look

          D7                         G
For their boy whose last promise did fail

                    C             G
Now the old rocking chair will be rocking no more

A welcome I read on the floor mat

   D7                     G
An old braided rug by the door

                C         G
The hands of an angel had made it

     D7                   G
With many a prayer prayed before

 
      C                      G
In an old rocking chair long she waited

    D7                         G
For one glimpse of him how she yearned

               C           G
And now he was standing in silence

    D7                     G
Too late yes too late he'd returned



 
             C            G
And the sign read an old cabin for sale
