The Old Rounder
All alone now in my little cabin, I've watched the sun going down
And my thoughts trace back over my lifetime, and I wonder where I am bound
Oh the years have been tough on this body, and troubles have tortured my mind
Now the last thing I ever will ask for, is a few words of kindness to find
Come away to my little cabin, that stands on the outside of town
Don't bring me no flowers, just stay by my bedside
And see this old rounder go down
I started my life with ambition, I tried to be a good man
But I fell prey to temptation, and a lifetime of sorrow began
I had to leave the place of my raisin', I spent many years on the road
Now gone are my old friends and family, and alone I must carry my load
Come away to my little cabin, that stands on the outside of town
Don't bring me no flowers, just stay by my bedside
And see this old rounder go down
Oh the path to my cabin is lighted, my lanterns I've left on the way
And the flame in my heart will burn brighter, by your kindness on my dyin' day
Come away to my little cabin, that stands on the outside of town
Don't bring me no flowers, just stay by my bedside
And see this old rounder go down
Come away to my little cabin, that stands on the outside of town
Don't bring me no flowers, just stay by my bedside
And see this old rounder go down
