Only 2 verses in the Donegan version I've got. But here they are anyway.
LIGHT FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE (Trad, arr Donegan)
Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me,
cho: Let it shine on, oh let it shine on, Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me, Let it shine on, oh let it shine on, Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me,
Well, I got religion, honey, but I ain't ashamed Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me. There's an angel up in heaven, well he done writ down my name Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me.
Well if I get to heaven, oh my lordy, before you do Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me, I'm gonna tell all your friends I'm a-coming too Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me,
As sung by Lonnie Donegan on the double CD Talking Guitar Blues. The very best of ... NEECD 325. Originally published 1958 on Lonnie LP, Pye Nixa NSPT 8400.
