Here's this version.

WHEN IT'S LAMP-LIGHTING TIME IN THE VALLEY
Recorded by Jim Greer and the MAC-O-CHEE Valley Folks
Writer not listed

There's a lamp shining bright in the valley
In a window, it's shining for me
And I know that my mother is pining
For the boy she is longing to see.

CHORUS

When It's Lamp-Lighting Time In The Valley
Then in dreams, I go back to my home
I can see that old lamp in the window
It will guide me wherever I roam.

In the lamplight each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair, to and fro
And she prays that I'll come back to see her
Yet, I know that I never can go.

CHORUS

So, she lights up the lamp and sits waiting
For she knows of the time I have done
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
Up in heaven, when life's race is done.

CHORUS
