Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
A [G]little child on a [C]sickbed
[G]lay and [C]death was very [G]near
She was the pride and [C]only child
[G]of a rai[D]lroad eng[A]in ee[D]r
His duty had called him from [G]those he
loved and [D]seeing that hope was [G]dim
While a tear he shed to his [C]wife he said
just [G]have two [D]lan[G]terns trimmed
[C]Just hang a light as I [G]pass tonight
hang it where it can be [D]seen
If our [G]baby's dead just [C]show the red if she's
[G]better then [D]show the [G]green

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
In a [G]little house by the [C]railroad [G]track
a [C]mother with watchful [G]eye
Saw a gleam of hope and a [C]feeble smile
[G]as the tra[D]in went rus[A]hing by[D]
Just one short [Am]look [D]was his [G]only
chance to [D]see the light [G]agleam
In the midnight air there [C]arose a prayer
thank [G]God the [D]light was [G]green
[C]Just hang [G]a light

[Outro 1]
