Trixie Smith — Log Cabin Blues

[Verse 1] I can't forget the day I first left my home And went up North in the wide, wide world to roam But hard luck overtook me, many days I've sat and moaned I thought I'd find honey growing on the trees People in New York livin' thick as bumblebees Everybody's grafting, they seem to have the money disease [Chorus] Mammy, can't you hear me callin' Ma-ammy, in the night I'm fallin' Oh how I miss you, I long to kiss you I want to be with you just once more And bring back childhood days of long ago Crying, yes I'm always crying Sighing, my poor heart is sighing For your log fire I once admire Your thoughts follow me where I roam I've got the blues for my old log cabin homе [Verse 2] Every night I go to sleep, I dream of home sweet homе I curse the day that I was born, I'm sorry that I roam I fancy I can see you, mammy, in your ol' armchair Oh how I wish the day would come when I'll be with you there [?] candy's sweet but [?] seems to linger on my mind The way you made them [?], mammy, sure were super fine Now I'm just sick and tired, miss the [?] down-home meal I'm ragged, broke, and hungry, so you know just how I feel [Chorus] Mammy, can't you hear me callin' Ma-ammy, in the night I'm fallin' Oh how I miss you, I long to kiss you I want to be with you just once more And bring back childhood days of long ago Crying, yes I'm always crying Sighing, my poor heart is sighing For your log fire I once admire Your thoughts follow me where I roam I've got the blues for my old log cabin home
