Lamp Lighting Time In The Valley

There's a lamp shining bright in the cabin

Through a window it's shining for me

And I know that my mother sits waiting

For the boy she's been longing to see

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

She'll guide me wherever I roam

Though she lights up her lamp and sits waiting

For she knows not the crime I have done

I'll change all my ways and go see her

Up in heaven where 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

She'll guide me wherever I roam
