Mike Heron of The Incredible String Band receives the credits for this on their 1968 double Album "Wee Tam and the Big Huge", where it is titled Log Cabin Home in the Sky. These are the lyrics copied from the LP sleeve - just a few differences from Al's version

All around this wide country the winter it has now begun
Now is the time to slip away from the California sun
To a place where a man can be free as the wind
And wild as the huskie's cry
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky

With snow piling all round the door
And many a log on the stove
Where the chickadee's singing a comforting song
I'll show it's you that I love
O let the wolves howl, they won't find us here
By a soft oil lamp we will lie
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky

There comes a time to every man
When he must turn his back on the crowd
When the glare of the lights gets much too bright
And the music plays too loud
When a man must run from the deeds he has done
Recalling those days with a sigh
Winter is nigh and let's fly to my log cabin
Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky.

WassaiL! V
