LITTLE OLD LOG CABIN DOWN THE LANE, THE - "I am growing old and feeble and I cannot work no more" written by Will Hays (1837-1907) in 1871. Hays is believed to have written over three hundred songs, the combined sheet music of which apparently exceeded twenty million copies. According to Mike Yates, the first commercial recording of the song was made by Fiddling John Carson in 1923, but Wilgus notes a 1919 Columbia record made by Bentley Ball in which the song is included. See Traditional Music, No. 6, early 1977, p. 13, and D K Wilgus, Anglo-American Folk Song Scholarship since 1898, Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, New Jersey. 1959, p. 233, p. 392. The first commercial performance of the song in this country appears to have been by Ted Snow, of the Mohawk minstrel troupe and J T Tute's Minstrels.
