Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) A LITTLE little (A major)
(D major) child on a sick (A major) bed (D major) lay,
And (G major) death was very near.
(D major) She was the pride and (A major) only child
(D major) of (A major) a railroad engineer.
His duty called (D major) him from those he loved,
(A major) and seeing that hope was (D major) dim,
With a tear he shed to his (G major) wife
he said, (A flatdim) (D major) I'll leave to (A major) lantern's (D major) trim.
Just (G major) set a light as I pass (D major) tonight,
(A major) An d set it where it can be seen.
If our (D major) baby's (A major) dead, just (G major) show the red
If (D major) she's better, then show (A major) the (D major) green
In a little house by the (A major) railroad side
(D major) A (G major) mother with watchful (D major) eye
Saw a gleam of hope
and (A major) a feeble (D major) smile
as the (A major) train went rushin' by.
Just one short look was his (D major) only chance
to see (A major) the light agleam. (D major)
In the midnight air there
(G major) arose a prayer (D major) ,
Thank God the (A major) light was (D major) green.
Just (G major) set a light as I (D major) pass tonight,
and (A major) set it where it can be seen.
If our (D major) baby's (A major) dead, just (G major) show the (D major) rain.
And if she's better, then show the (A major) (D major) green
