(Winfield Scott)



Keep that candle burnin' bright, mama

I'll be kind of late tonight, mama

There's a yellow moon above me, mama

Shinin' on the one I love, mama

Burn that candle

Night and day

Burn that candle

Honey light our way

Keep that doorway open wide

Until we come slowly strollin' side by side

While that candle's shinin' high, mama

I'll be with my sugar pie, mama



We'll be comin' home you know and mama

Lookin' for that candle glowin', mama

After we have had the wedding, mama

To that candle we'll be headin', mama

So before we're winin' and dinin', mama

Keep that candle light a-shinin', mama
