(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)
