Lyrics The Carter Family

The Carter Family

Little Log Cabin By The Sea

There is a precious volume of pages worn 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

Tis the old precious bible blessed bible

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

The precious precious bible the blessed blessed bible

The bible that my mother gave to me

How often I have listened to the countless town and raves

Round that little log cabin by the sea

While mother read of Jesus who walked upon the waves

How Jesus calmed the stormy Gallilee

How often oh how often she read of glowing mirth

With a message from the precious word above

It told of faithful Daniel who trusted in the Lord

While it lead me in the pathway that she brought (?)

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 look

And that I'll meet my loved ones by and by
