- Sure the light is fading fast and I'm thinking of the past:
As I'm sitting with my darling by my side.
She's and old and wrinkled dame, but I love her just the same
As the sunny day she came to be my bride.I think I see her now with a smile upon her brow
As she vowed she would be mine for every more.
I had no lands or pastures wide but I took her home with pride
To the Cabin with the roses round the door.That is the dear old Cabin, 'tis my own old Cabin
It is my home around my native shore
I can yield my native sigh, I have lived and I will die
In the Cabin with the roses round the door.- Collector
