Little Pine Log Cabin

 

There’s a little pine log cabin

Waitin’ down in Welcome valley

There’s an open door and when my roamin’s o’er

I’m goin’ back home

 

There’s a mother daily prayin ‘

Waitin for my homeward strayin’

To that little pine log cabin

Never more to roam

 

Chorus:

I want to see the children playin’

By the weepin’ willow strayin’

To hear my mother softly prayin’

While the mockingbirds sing so sweetly

How my weary heart is yearnin’

Just to be again returnin’

To that little pine log cabin in the land of my dreams

 

Often when alone I still dream

Of the days beside the mill stream

With my Dad and mother and my little brother

Happy and gay

 

I can see the shadows fallin’

And I hear voices callin’

From that little pine log cabin at the end of the way

 

Chorus:

I want to see the children playin’

By the weepin willow strayin’…

 

There’s a little lamp light shinin’

There’s a little trail a windin’

Down a little valley to a little cabin

Peaceful and still

 

Honeysuckle vines are growin’

And I know soon I’ll be goin’

To that little pine log cabin at the foot of the hill

 

Chorus:

I want to see the children playin’

By the weepin willow strayin’…
