WHEN IT'S LAMP LIGHTING TIME IN THE VALLEY
The info I have on this tune is as follows
It was written and recorded by Curt Poulton & Herald Goodman in 1933There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin
In the window it is shining for me
And I know that my mother is praying
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 lamp light each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
Though she prays that I'll come back to see her
Still I know that I never can go. CHORUSShe lights up the lamp and sits waiting
For she knows not the crime I have done
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
Up in heaven when life's race is run. CHORUS
