Tiny Red Light

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
