There's a lamp burning bright in a cabin In a window it's shinin' for me And I know that my mother is waitin' For the one she is longing to see
When it's lamplighting time in the valley Then in dreams I go back to my home I can see that old light in the window It will guide me where ever I roam.
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
When it's lamplighting time in the valley Then in dreams I go back to my home I can see that old light in the window It will guide me where ever I roam.
