Mmmmmmm.
One, two, three.
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[D#] [G#]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[C] [C#]
There's a lamp [F#] shining bright in [C#] a cabin
In the window it's shining [G#] for me
And [C#] I know that [F#] my mother [C#] is praying
[G#] For the boy she is longing [C#] to see
When [F#] it's lamp lighting time in [C#] the valley
Still in dreams I go [G#] back to my home
I [C#] can see that [F#] old lamp in [C#] the window
It [G#] will guide me wherever [C#] I roam
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[A#] [G#]
[F#] [C#]
[G#] [C#] In the lamp light [F#] each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to [G#] and fro
Though she [C#] prays that I'll come back to [G#] see her
[A#] Still I know that [G#] I never [C#] can go
When [F#] it's lamp lighting time in [C#] the valley
Still in dreams I go [G#] back to my home
But [C#] I've sinned against [F#] my home and [C#] my loved ones
[G#] And now I must [C#] evermore roam
[F#] [C#]
[G#]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [C#] So she lights up [F#] the lamp and [C#] sits waiting
For she knows not the crime I [G#] have done
So [C#] I've changed all [F#] my ways and [C#] I'll meet her
Up [G#] in heaven when life's race [C#] is run
When [F#] it's lamp lighting time [C#] in the valley
Still in dreams I go back to [G#] my home
I [C#] can see [F#] that old lamp [C#] in the window
[G#] It will guide me wherever [C#] I roam
[F#] [C#]
[G#] [C] [C#]
