Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Old Lamplighter (from The Browns)
Subject: Lamplighter
I think this one was by the Browns....bits of it are floating in my head and I'd really love to know the rest of it, and where I can find a copy/chords. Thanks in advance,

The old lamplighter of long ago
He made the night a little brighter
Wherever he would go
The old lamplighter of long ago

If he'd find sweethearts in the park
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
Remembering the days that used to be
For he recalls when days were new
He loved someone who loved him too

His snowy hair was so much whiter
Beneath the candle glow
The old lamp lighter of long ago
