Hermitage Green - By the glow of the kerosene light

^CI remember the ^Gtime when my ^Amgrand dad and ^FI Would ^Csit by the ^Gfire at^F night And I ^Clistened to^G stories of^Am how he once^F lived By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight

He ^Csaid "Mom and ^GDad sent ^Amme off to ^Fschool Where I ^Clearned how to ^Gread and to ^Fwrite And they ^Clistened for ^Ghours As I ^Amread from my ^Fbooks By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight"

Your ^Cgrandma and ^GI, we were ^Amwed at six^Fteen Lord ^Cshe was a ^Gbeautiful ^Fsight Oh ^Cproudly I ^Gplaced the ^Amring on her ^Fhand By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight

^CAbout one year ^Glater your ^Amdaddy was ^Fborn And your ^Cgrandma held ^Gmy hand so ^Ftight Oh I ^Ccan’t tell the ^Gjoy as she ^Ambrought forth new ^Flife By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight

Well^C having a c^Ghild did ^Amweaken her ^Fso She ^Cjust wasn’t ^Gup to the ^Ffight But ^Cshe looked so ^Gpeaceful as she ^Amwent to her ^Frest By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight

^CThen as ^Gnow the ^Amtimes they were ^Fhard To s^Cucceed you would ^Gtry all your ^Fmight Well ^Csometimes love ^Gblooms and ^Amsometimes dreams ^Fdie By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Flight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight

By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight By the ^Cglow of the ^Gkerosene ^Clight
