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
D7 G
There's an old log cabin for sale
C G
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
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
