When It's Lamplighting Time In The Valley

- Roger wagner Coral -

There's a lamp shining bright in the cabin

In the window it's shining for me.
I know Mother sits waiting and praying
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.

In the lamplight each night I can see her
As she rocks in her chair to and fro'
Tho' she prays that I'll come back to see her
Still I know that I never can go.

CHORUS:

Now she lights up that lamp and sits waiting
She knows not the deeds I have done.
But I'll change all my ways and go see her
Up in Heaven when life's race is run.

CHORUS:

When it's lamp lighting time in the valley
And the shadows of night gently fall
It is then that I long for the valley
And I miss you, Mother dear, most of all.

CHORUS:

산골짝의 등불 -  송창식

아늑한 산골짝 작은 집에

아련히 등잔불 흐를 때

그리운 내아들 돌아올 날

늙으신 부모님 기도해

그 산골짝에 황혼질 때

꿈마다 그리는 나의 집

희미한 불빛은 정다웁게

외로운 내 발길 비추네
