Little Log Cabin By The Sea - The Carter Family

There is a precious volume all fingerworn and old

In that little log cabin by the sea

It is the old, old Bible, more precious now than gold

It’s the Bible that my mother gave to me

It’s the old precious Bible, blessed Bible

That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)

It’s that precious, precious Bible

That blessed, blessed Bible

The Bible that my mother gave to me

How often I have listened to the tempest howl and rage

'Round that little log cabin by the sea

My mother read of Jesus, who walked upon the waves

How Jesus calmed the stormy Galilee

It’s the old precious Bible, blessed Bible

That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)

It’s that precious, precious Bible

That blessed, blessed Bible

The Bible that my mother gave to me

How often, oh, how often she read that glowing word

With the message from the precious word above

It told of faithful Daniel, who trusted in the Lord

While she led me in the pathway that she trod

It’s the old precious Bible, blessed Bible

That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)

It’s that precious, precious Bible

That blessed, blessed Bible

The Bible that my mother gave to me

There is no other volume so precious as this book

It tells me how to live and how to die

It tells me of that city, oh, wondrous, wondrous book

And that I’ll meet the loved ones bye and bye

It’s the old precious Bible, blessed Bible

That she read in the cabin by the sea (by the sea)

It’s that precious, precious Bible

That blessed, blessed Bible

The Bible that my mother gave to me
