Cabin by the Creek

Verse 1
In a cabin by the creek where the mountain laurel grows
We held each other oh so many years ago
Those days are no more and I often think
Of what took place on that night in a cabin by the creek

Chorus
A cabin by the creek made of oak and yellow pine
It all came down in to a fiery pile
Though long ago it still cuts deep
Like a splinter from the wooden floor
in a cabin by the creek

Verse 2
Many days before I left her all alone
An told her that in a week I’d be returning home
But a storm came in, so I made a retreat
Back to the place that I called home a cabin by the creek

Verse 3
It was dark when I returned but for a moonlit sky
I could see a strange horse that stood alone and tied
So I drew my 45, but fell to my knees
When I found her in another's arms in a cabin by the creek

Verse 4
They had no shame, so I said you’d better run
And I will count to ten before unloading my gun
They rode out of my sight no tears did I weep
For the wood burned bright as I set a lite
to a cabin by the creek
