1
A little child on a sickbed lay
2
And death was very near
3
She was the pride
4
And only child of a railroad engineer
5
His duty had called him from those he loved
6
And seeing that hope was dim
7
While a tear he shed to his wife he said
8
Just have two lanterns trimmed
9
Just hang a light as I pass tonight
10
Hang it where it can be seen
11
If our baby's dead just show the red
12
If she's better then show the green
13
In a little house by the railroad track
14
A mother with watchful eye
15
Saw a gleam of hope and a feeble smile
16
As the train went rushing by
17
Just one short look was his only chance
18
To see the light agleam
19
In the midnight air there a rose a prayer
20
Thank God the light was green
21
Just hang a light as I pass tonight
22
Hang it where it can be seen
23
If our baby's dead just show the red
24
If she's better then show the green
