Tiny Red Light

Verse:
        C                                 G
Put the light in the window, my darling, she  said,
                                          C
As she gazed at the dark, stormy night over head;
                                    G
 A little girl ran with her eager de-  light,
                                G7       C
And she placed in the window the  tiny red  light.

Verse:
        C                                 G
Her fathercame home from his work withered  cold,
                                          C
Angry and cross 'cause his fish were not sold;
                                    G
He said that the oil it must do for the night,
                                    G
So he took from the window the  tiny red light.

Verse:
        C                                 G
Oh,  Father, dear Father, don't take it  away,
                                          C
Think of them poor sailors far out on the  bay.
                                            G
If he could have seen what had happened that  night,

That might have been saved by the  tiny red  light.

Verse:
          C                                 G
The very  next morning came a knock on the  door,
                                        C
 A sailor stood pointing far out on the  shore;
                                   G
Three tiny ships went adrift in the  gale,

With tears in his eyes he told her  father this  tale.

Verse:
        C                                   G
We fol-  lowed yer tiny red light said the  man,
                                               C
Till it vanished from sight - on the rocks our ship  ran;
                                      G
Many were drowned on the billows last  night,
                                  G7           C
That might have been saved by yer  tiny red  light.
                                  G7          C
That might have been saved by yer  tiny red  light.
