Marty Robbins - When It's Lamplighting Time in the Valley

There's a lamp shinin' bright in a cabin

In a window it's shinin' for me

And I know that my mother is prayin'

For the boy she is longing to see

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

Oh, she lights up her lamp and sits waiting

For she knows not the crime that I've done

But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her

Up in Heaven when 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

It will guide me where ever I roam
