American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
The Old Log Cabin in the Dell. 
I am drifting down de hill of life, I never can work any more; But de home of childhood still I love de same as in bright days of yore; I've laid down de spade and de hoe, with sorrow de heart ne'er can tell; And now I'se gwine to lib and die in de old log cabin In de dell. 
Chorus. I'se going, going back to de home I love so well. And now I'se gwine to lib and die in de old log cabin in de dell. 
When dey speak of how I'se gwine to lib, I don't 'zactly know how 'twill be, But I don't sped want will ever come while massa libs who set me free; he always did like all de hands, he was sad when he bid dem farewell; I don't think he would see dem starve in de old log cabin in de dell.-Chorus. 
Many changes I have passed in life, some hard ones I don't like to tell-But dere soon must be anoder change in de old log cabin in de dell; De angel of peace will be dere wid de keys of de home where he dwell; And den I'll bid a long farewell to de old log cabin in de dell.-Chorus.
