Keep that candle burnin´ birght, mother I´ll be kinda late tonight, mother
There´s a yellow moon above, mother Shinin´ on the one I love, mother
Burn that candle, night and day Burn that candle, light my way Keep that doorway open wide Till I´m strollin´ thru that doorway with my bride
While that candle´s burnin´ high, mother I´ll be with my sugar pie, mother We´ll be comin home you know, mother Lookin for that candle glow, mother
After we have had the wedding, mother To the candle we´ll be headin, mother So, before we´re winin´, dinin´, mother Start that candle light a shinin´, mother
