Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL CMCMNONO JHJHCBCB| O dear little cabin I've loved you so long | A |
| And now I must bid you good bye | B |
| I've filled you with laughter I've thrilled you with song | A |
| And sometimes I've wished I could cry | B |
| Your walls they have witnessed a weariful fight | C |
| And rung to a won Waterloo | D |
| But oh in my triumph I'm dreary to night | C |
| Good bye little cabin to you | D |
| - | |
| Your roof is bewhiskered your floor is a slant | E |
| Your walls seem to sag and to swing | F |
| I'm trying to find just your faults but I can't | E |
| You poor tired heart broken old thing | F |
| I've seen when you've been the best friend that I had | G |
| Your light like a gem on the snow | H |
| You're sort of a part of me Gee but I'm sad | G |
| I hate little cabin to go | H |
| - | |
| Below your cracked window red raspberries climb | I |
| A hornet's nest hangs from a beam | J |
| Your rafters are scribbled with adage and rhyme | I |
| And dimmed with tobacco and dream | J |
| Each day has its laugh and Don't worry just work | K |
| Such mottoes reproachfully shine | L |
| Old calendars dangle what memories lurk | K |
| About you dear cabin of mine | L |
| - | |
| I hear the world call and the clang of the fight | C |
| I hear the hoarse cry of my kind | M |
| Yet well do I know as I quit you to night | C |
| It's Youth that I'm leaving behind | M |
| And often I'll think of you empty and black | N |
| Moose antlers nailed over your door | O |
| Oh if I should perish my ghost will come back | N |
| To dwell in you cabin once more | O |
| - | |
| How cold still and lonely how weary you seem | J |
| A last wistful look and I'll go | H |
| Oh will you remember the lad with his dream | J |
| The lad that you comforted so | H |
| The shadows enfold you it's drawing to night | C |
| The evening star needles the sky | B |
| And huh but it's stinging and stabbing my sight | C |
| God bless you old cabin good bye | B |
