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
My shack's my only fortune & I'm as happy as your 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
Years ago I met 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' our 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 haven't 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 dogies roam
At night I lye and listen to the Coyote's mingle tone
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 old guitar
The meadowlarks are singin' out where the cattle roam
Around my little log log shack I always call my home
