An Old Log Cabin for Sale

An Old Log Cabin for Sale - Porter Wagoner

Written by：J.W. Payte

While strolling

A long in the country

Reviewing the scenes

New and old

I found an old

Fashioned log cabin

So beautiful there

To be hold

A stranger was

Standing in silence

His eyes

Firmly fixed on the door

My heart ached

In pity to see him

For these were the words

That it bore

And the sign

Read an old cabin

For sale

An old oaken

Bucket and well

Easy terms just keep

A log on the fire

And a light burning

Bright in the dell

Many years an old couple

So patiently look

For their boy

Whose last promise did fail

Now the old rockin' chair

Will be rocking no more

There's an old

Log cabin for sale

A welcome I read

On the floor mat

An old braided rug

By the door

The hands of an angel

Had made it

With many a pray'r

Prayed before

In an old rockin' chair

Long she waited

For one glimpse of him

How she yearned

And now he was standing in silence

Too late

Yes too late

He'd returned

And the sign read

An old cabin for sale

An old oaken bucket and well

Easy terms

Just keep

A log on the fire

And a light burning

Bright in the dell

Many years an old couple

So patiently looked

For their boy

Whose last promise did fail

Now the old rockin' chair

Will be rocking no more

There's an old

Log cabin for sale

There's no old

Glimpse like home
