1. There’s a lamp shining bright in a cabin
In the window it’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
Still in dreams I go back to my home
I can see that old lamp in the window
It will guide me wherever I roam.
2. In the lamplight tonight I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
Though she prays that I’ll come back to see her
Still I know that I never can go.
CHORUS
3. So she lights up the lamp and sits waiting
For she knows not the crime i have done
So I’ve changed all my ways and I’ll meet her
Up in heaven when life’s race is run.
CHORUS
