"Log Cabin Home in the Sky" Lyrics

All around this wide country the winter has now begun
Now is the time to slip away from the hot blazing sun
To a place where a man as free as the wind
As wild as the huskies' cry
Winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky

Snow piled all round the door
And many a log on the stove
Chickadee's singing a comforting song
I'll show you it's you that I love
O let the wolves howl, they won't find us there
By an oil lamp we will lie
Winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky
Winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky

Now there comes a time in every man's life
When he must turn his back on the crowd
When the glare of the lights is much too bright
And the hipster hip-hop country is too loud
To a place where a man as free as the wind
As wild as the huskies' cry
Winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky
Winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky

My grandmother said the song was so sweet
She danced to the fiddle on little barefoot
She was fifteen and fair, long braided hair
Didn't she dance in her day

And over the years I remember she said
One night as she kissed us, tucked us in bed
When I was a maid, our song would play
Didn't we dance in our day

Didn't she dance, didn't she dance, didn't she dance in her day
Didn't she dance, didn't she dance, didn't she dance in her day

See the young girls on a soft summer night
Silhouettes slender against the moonlight
Hair flowing free, once that was she
Didn't she dance in her day
And over the years, one thing I know
Grandma keep dancing thought the tempo be slow
I know one day, a grandchild will say
Didn't she dance in her day

Didn't she dance, didn't she dance, didn't she dance in her day
Didn't she dance, didn't she dance, didn't she dance in her day
