Old Log Cabin For Sale - Porter Wagoner, Pam Gadd

While strolling along in the country reviewing the scenes new and old

I found an old fashioned log cabin so beautiful there to behold

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, it read, An Old Log Cabin For Sale an 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 who’s last promise

did fail

Now the old rocking chair will be rocking no more there’s an old log cabin for

sale

A welcome I read on the floormat an old braided rug by the door

The hands of an angel had made it with many a prayer prayed before

In an old rocking chair on she waited for one glimpse of him how she yearned

But now he was standing in silence too late yes too late he’d returned

And the sign, it read, An Old Log Cabin For Sale an 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 who’s last promise

did fail

Now the old rocking chair will be rocking no more there’s an old log cabin for

sale
