Tex Ritter
(1905-1974)
1. There's a lamp shining bright in the cabin
In the window it's shining for me.
And I know that Mother is waiting
For the boy that she's 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 where ever I roam.
2. In the lamplight each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to and fro'
And she prays that I'll come back to see her
Still I know that I never can go.
