Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D][G][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]A little
girl on a [G]sickbed lay,
and [D]death seemed very [A]near
Her [D]parents' pride
and the [G]only child
of [A]a railroad e[D]ngineer
As his [G]duty called him from [D]those he loved,
his heart was filled with [A]fear
And as [D]tears he shed to his [G]wife
he said, I'll [A]leave two
lanterns [D]dear[G][A][D]
You may place a light in
the [G]window tonight
From [D]there it can be [A]seen
If our [D]darling's dead, you [G]can show the red
If she's [A]better, then show the [D]green
On his [G]bended knees
by his [D]little girl's bed
He prayed to God [A]above
Oh [D]Lord, we need our [G]little girl so
Won't you [A]please spare the one we [D]love

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
In the [D]cottage small by the [G]railroad side
From the [D]mother's watchful [A]eye
Shone a [D]gleam of hope
through her [G]gentle smile
As the [A]train went rushing [D]by
Just [G]one short glance was his [D]only chance
But the signal light was [A]seen
There [D]arose a prayer on
the [G]midnight air
Thanking [A]God that the light was [D]green you
