Lyrics:
First verse
I feel oh! so lonely tonight, I feel all alone, I'm just starving for a sight Of my old Kentucky home, I can see my mother old and gray, I can hear the whippoorwill, I can see a light for me In the window of the house upon the hill:
Chorus
There's a light that's burning in the window Of a little house upon the hill, And the light will burn, And a heart will yearn, And it always will till I return, For there's only one mother, I know she's waiting still, And she'll always keep the light a-burning In the window of the house upon the hill. There's a light that's burning in the window Of a little house upon the hill, And the light will burn, And a heart will yearn, And it always will till I return, For there's only one mother, I know she's waiting still, And she'll always keep the light a-burning In the window of the house upon the hill.
Second verse
I've seen many wonderful sights, Wand'ring on my way, But I've spent such lonesome nights, And been weary thru the day, I’m just longing for a mother’s love, And I know she longs for me, Can’t erase her loving face, It’s the sight of all the sights I want to see:
(Chorus)
