Betsy Lane Shepherd / Metropolitan Quartet - I'll Remember You, Love, In My Prayers / The Little Log Cabin In The Lane flac album

The Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane" is a popular song written by Will S. Hays in 1871 for the minstrel trade. Written in dialect, the song tells of an elderly man, presumably a slave or former slave, passing his later years in a broken-down old log cabin. The title is from a refrain: "de little old log cabin in de lane". The Ballad Index by Robert B. Waltz and David G. Engle lists more than 20 recordings of the song from 1903 to 1940.

Well, upon the wings of a beautiful dove I'll hasten this message of cheer And I'll bring you a kiss of affection and say I'll remember you love in my prayers.

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.

Oh I ain't got long to stay here, what little time I've got I want to rest content while I remain 'Til death shall call this dog and me to find a better home Than that little old log cabin in the lane. Log Cabin In The Lane" Track Info. Log Cabin In The Lane Lyrics.
