Burn That Candle

(Album: Rockin' The Joint - 1958)

Keep that candle burning bright, mother
I'll be kinda late tonight, mother
There's a yellow moon above, mother
Shining 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 strolling thru that doorway with my bride

While that candle's burning high, mother
I'll be with my sugar pie, mother
We'll be coming home you know, mother
Looking for that candle glow, mother

Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light my way
Keep that doorway open wide
Till I'm strolling thru that doorway with my bride

After we have had the wedding, mother
To the candle we'll be headin, mother
So, before we're wining, dining, mother
Start that candle light a shining, mother

Burn that candle, night and day
Burn that candle, light my way
Keep that doorway open wide
Till I'm strolling thru that doorway with my bride
