Little Log Hut in the Lane

[Verse 1]
Mama says she don't want me
Because I'm getting old
Scared that I might freeze to death
The weather is so cold
If I live till night
I think I will try
When the moon goes down tonight

[Chorus]
I'm going to say goodbye
I'm going from the cotton field
I'm going from the cane
I'm going from that little log hut
That stands down in the lane

[Verse 2]
Now I'm old and feeble
And I cannot see my way
Mama says I'm old and gray
And only in the way
I'm leaving the little log hut
The place I love to dwell
When the stars shine bright tonight

[Chorus][x2]
