slim dusty – when it’s lamplighting time in the valley lyrics
there’s a light burning bright in a cabin
in a window it’s shining for me
and i know that my mother is praying
for her boy she is longing to see
when it’s lamp lighting time in the valley
then in dreams i go back to my home
i can see that old light in the window
it will guide me wherever i roam
in the lamplight each night 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
when it’s lamplighting time in the valley
then in dreams i go back to my home
but i’ve sinned against my home and my loved ones
and now i must evermore roam
so she lights up the lamp and keeps waiting
for she knows not the crime i have 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 lamp lighting time in the valley
then in dreams i go back to my home
i can see that old light in the window
it will guide me wherever i roam
