When It's Lamplighting Time In The Valley (산골짝의 등불)
1. 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.
2. 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:
3. 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:
4. 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:
