Lamplighting Time in the Valley
Traditional
Key
EditVerse
Oh there's a lamp shining bright in the cabin
in a window that's shining for me
And I know that my mother is praying
for the boy she is longing to see
Chorus
when it's lamp lighting time in the valley
in my dreams I go back to my home
Oh I can see that old lamp in the window
it will guide me whereever I roam.
Verse
By the lamplight tonight I can see her
as she rocks in her chair to and fro
Oh she's praying that I'll come back to see her
and I know that I never can go.
