BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - Mac Wiseman


1. There are people who would rather live in splendor
   Brag about their silver and their gold
   People who would trade God's promise
   For its glory to hold
   There are people who would rather live in mansions
   People who would rather live abroad
   But I'd rather have a little log cabin
   By the side of the road

Ch. I'd rather live by the side of the road
    And try to point souls to the blest abode
    Than to be a king or a millionaire
    And live in mansions in bright array
    I'd rather do a neighborly deed
    For some traveler or a friend in need
    I'd rather live by the side of the road
    And help some pilgrim along life's way

2. I'd rather have a cabin by the roadside
   Where the pilgrimage of man is passing by
   Help to point soul to Jesus
   And that city on high
   Everyday I want to help to scatter roses
   Every night I want my lamp to shine abroad
   With a welcome from my little bay window
   By the side of the road
