There's An Old Log Cabin For Sell Song by McDonald Brothers of Kennet, Mo.

[Guest]

My Mother had a copy of the song years ago but lost it to a family friend who failed to return it . I've call Nashville Tenn. and they have music by the Brothers but not this song. Porter Wagner sang it I think but still need the words if anyone can come up with them . Thanks Guess in Ozarks [email protected]

"An Old Log Cabin For Sale" by Porter Wagoner

Verse 1
While strolling along in the country
reviewing the scenes new and old
I found an old fashioned log cabin
so beautiful there to behold

Verse 2

Verse 3
And the sign 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

Verse 4

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

The hands of an angel had made it

Verse 6
In an old rocking chair long 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 read...
