  'Twas ma -- ny years a -- go I left de sun -- ny South, to roam 
  Up North, de hap -- py day dat I was free; 
  From mas -- sa an' ole mis -- sus, too, and all de folks at home, 
  Whose fac -- es now I neb -- er more shall see; 
  I'se trab -- eled night and day to see de dear old place once more;
  De cot -- ton fields, de rib -- ber, and de mill; 
  But most of all, where I was born, in hap -- py days be -- fore, 
  In de lit -- tle log cab -- in on de hill!

  Oh, I re -- mem -- ber eb -- ry day, when all our work was o'er, 
  We'd hear de bones' and ban -- jos' sweet re -- frain,
  While all de dark -- ies danc'd and swung a -- round de cab -- in door;
  Dem hap -- py times will neb -- er come a -- gain; 
  We'd hunt de pos -- sum and de coon un -- til de morn -- in' fair, 
  An' laugh and shout, so gay and jol -- ly still; 
  Such joy -- ous, hap -- py dark -- ies, an' we had no tho't of care, 
  In de lit -- tle log cab -- in on de hill!

  Up -- on de ole plan -- ta -- tion there is no one left I know; 
  De folks are wan -- d'ring all so far a -- way,
  An' strang -- ers meet me eb -- ry -- where, yes, eb -- ry -- where I go! 
  But round dis ole place Ise a -- goin' to stay; 
  Dar's one spot left, they say, where I can ev -- er -- more re -- main;
  Dar kind -- ness makes my poor heart throb and thrill; 
  Ise grow -- in' ole and wear -- y, so I'll neb -- er roam a -- gain 
  From de lit -- tle log cab -- in on de hill!
