Verse 2:
In the lamplight tonight 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
Chorus 2:
When it's lamp lighting time in the valley
Still in dreams I go back to my home
But I've sinned 'gainst my home and my loved ones
And now i must ever more roam
Verse 3:
So she lights up the lamp and sits waiting
For she knows not the crime i have done
So I've changed all my ways and I'll meet her
Up in heaven when life's race is run
Chorus 3:
When it's lamp lighting time in the valley
Still in dreams I go back to my home
Oh I can see that old lamp in the window
It will guide me wherever I roam
