Lamplighting Time In The Valley Lyrics - Marty Robbins

There's a lamp shining bright in a cabin 

In a window it's shinin' for me 

And I know that my mother is prayin' 

For the boy she is longing to see 

When it's lamplighting time I can see her 

As she rocks in her chair to and fro 

But I know that I'll never more see her 

'Cause she's gone to a good place I know 

Oh, see lights up her lamp and sits waiting 

For she knows not the crime that I've done 

But I'll change all my ways and I'll meet her 

Up in Heaven when life's race is run 

When it's lamplighting time in the valley 

And in dreams I go back to my home 

I can see that old lamp in the window 

It will guide me where ever I roam
