An Old Log Cabin For Sale
by Porter Wagoner 

G                 C           G
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 

Repeat #2 & 3
