lyrics

Log Cabin Church

[G] I didn’t want to go
Out in the cold [F] snow
And walk that long mile
Just to [C] put my faith on [G] trial
But I [C] walked through the [F] door
[C] On to that dirt [G] floor
I [Am] took a pew in the [G] back
Thats [F] when I [G] smelled her Li[C]lac
Thats [G] when I smelled her Li[C]lac

[G] In a [C] log [G] cabin [C] church
[F] Cut from the mountain [C] birch
I first [Am] saw her there
In the [F] winter air
with spring [G] flowers in
her [C] hair

[G] In that damp room
That smelled like the butcher’s [F] broom
I tried to think on my soul
And [C] forget about the [G] coal
But I [C] thought on the that [F] lass
[C] All through the [G] mass
Her [Am] skin like china [G] clay
And I [F] yearned for a [G] roll in the [C] hay
Yes I [F] yearned for a [G] roll in the [C] hay

Chorus

[G] Back in the mine
For her smile I did [F] pine
My thoughts they ran wild
As the [C] hard coal got [G] piled
And I [C] nearly lost my [F] toe
[C] In that onion [G] snow
I [Am] was smitten as a[G] Loon
When [F] the laggin [G] fell in [C] June
When [F] the laggin [G] fell in [C] June

Chorus

[G] Now I longed to go
Through the rain or [F] snow
And skipped that short mile
Not to [C] put my faith on [G] trail
Just [C] to see her [F] again
[C] and hear her say [G] amen
But [Am] I was just a [G] miner
And she [F] deserved [G] much [C] finer
Yes she [G] was due much [C] finer

Chorus

Break
[Am] She is a [Em] diamond
[Am] Surrounded by black [Em] coal
[Am] She sparkles in my [Em] mind
[F] Even When I’m [G] in a deep [C] hole

[G] The preacher man he said
We should pray that young men [F] wed
And walk that long mile
To [C] meet her down the [G] aisle
So our [C] children aren’t or[F]phaned
[C] He said families should be [G] planned
So [Am] I took his sound [G] advice
And I [F] made [G] her my [C] wife
Yes I [G] made her my [C] wife

[G] In a [C] log [G] cabin [C] church
[F] Cut from the mountain [C] birch
I wed [Am] her there
In the [F] summer air
with spring [G] flowers in
her [C] hair
