There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin
|
In a window it's shinin' for me
|
And I know that my mother is prayin'
|
For the boy she is longing to see
|
|
When it's lamplighting time I can see her
|
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
|
But I know that I'll never more see her
|
'Cause she's gone to a good place I know
|
|
Oh, see lights up her lamp and sits waiting
|
For she knows not the crime that I've done
|
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
|
Up in Heaven when life's race is run
|
|
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
|
And in dreams I go back to my home
|
I can see that old lamp in the window
|
It will guide me where ever I roam
|
