[Verse]
C# F# C#
There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin
G#
In a window it's shinin' for me
C# F# C#
And I know that my mother is prayin'
G# C# C#7
For the boy she is longing to see
[Chorus]
F# C#
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
G#
Still in dreams I go back to my home
C# F# C#
I can see that old lamp in the window
G# C#
It will guide me where ever I roam
[Interlude]
C# F# C#

C# F# C#
C# G# C#
[Verse 2]
C# F# C#
In the lamplight each night I can see her
G#
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
C# F# C#
Though she prays that I'll come back to see her
G# C# C#7
Still I know that I never can go
[Chorus 2]
F# C#
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
G#
Still in dreams I go back to my home
C# F# C#
But I've sinned against my home and my loved ones
G# C#
And now I must evermore roam
[Interlude]
F# C# G#
C# F# C#
C# G# C#
[Verse 3]
C# F# C#
So she lights up the lamp and keeps waiting
G#
For she knows not the crime I have done
C# F# C#
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
G# C#
Up in Heaven when life's race is run
[Chorus 3]
F# C#
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
G#
Still in dreams I go back to my home
C# F# C#
I can see that old lamp in the window
G# C#
It will guide me where ever I roam
