(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
