A Little Log Shack I Can Always Call My Home

There's a spot out on the prairie where the coyotes love to roam Around my little old log shack, I always call my home How I love to sit and listen while they howl at the yellow moon Around my little old log shack, I always call my home My shack's my only fortune, I'm as happy as you are As I sing, and yodel, and strum my own guitar The meadowlarks are singin' out where the cattle roam Around my little old log shack, I always call my home Where the coyotes howling, the lonesome ma'lady But the wonder around my little home Oh, the moon shinning bright on my little old shack tonight Oh, my little old log shanty on my claim Years ago, I had a sweetheart, the joy of my life One night, I asked her best I could if she would be my wife We'd have the sweetest honeymoon, where we could be alone In that little log shack, I could always call my home Next night, we goes a ridin', out to our home to be She said she was never happy unless she was alone with me But when she saw my paradise, she seemed to take a fright And all at once she gave a scream, "I could never be your wife" You haven't got no electric lights, you have to live alone Is this the little old log shack you always called our home? I never seen her since that night she gave me back the ring When she left, I threw the thing away and started to sing You never hurt my feelings when you left me and my home For I'm a happy cowboy out where the doggies roam At night, I lie and listen to the coyote's mingle tone Around my little old log shack, I always call my home Where the coyotes howling, the lonesome ma'lady But the wonder around my little home Oh, the moon shinning bright on my little old shack tonight Oh, my little old log shanty on my claim My shack's my only fortune, and I'm as happy as you are As I sing, and yodel, and strum my old guitar The meadowlarks are singin' out where the cattle roam Around my little log, log shack, I always call my home Where the coyotes howling, the lonesome ma'lady But the wonder around my little home Oh, the moon shinning bright on my little old shack tonight Oh, my little old log shanty on my claim
