[Intro]
 
E
 
[Verse]
 
E A E
There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin
B
In a window it's shinin' for me
E A E
And I know that my mother is prayin'
B E E7
For the boy she is longing to see
 
[Chorus]
 
A E
When it's lamplighting time I can see her
B
As she rocks in her chair to and fro
E A E
But I know that I'll never more see her
B E
'Cause she's gone to a good place I know
 
[Verse 2]
 
E A E
Oh, see lights up her lamp and sits waiting
B
For she knows not the crime that I've done
E A E
But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her
B E
Up in Heaven when life's race is run
 
[Chorus 2]
 
A E
When it's lamplighting time in the valley
B
And in dreams I go back to my home
E A E
I can see that old lamp in the window
B E
It will guide me where ever I roam
