英文原文歌詞: Theres a lamp shining bright in a cabin In a window its shinin for me And I know that my mother is prayin For the boy she is longing to see
When its lamplighting time I can see her As she rocks in her chair to and fro But I know that Ill never more see her Cause shes gone to a good place I know
Oh, see lights up her lamp and sits waiting For she knows not the crime that Ive done But Ill change all my ways and Ill meet her Up in Heaven when lifes race is run
When its 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
