(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
chorus:
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
chorus
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
chorus (x2)
