BURN THAT CANDLE (W. Scott) BILL HALEY & HIS COMETS (Decca 29713, 1955) Keep that candle burnin' bright, mother I'll be kinda late tonight, mother There's a yellow moon above, mother Shinin' 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 strollin' thru that doorway with my bride While that candle's burnin' high, mother I'll be with my sugar pie, mother We'll be comin home you know, mother Lookin for that candle glow, mother After we have had the wedding, mother To the candle we'll be headin, mother So, before we're winin', dinin', mother Start that candle light a shinin', mother |
