The Old Lamp Lighter

[@carolynwhite9313]

I've watched these shows more than once. Jim Ed knew the words to all the songs. He was a hero in country music. I love this song.

[@Dianekat57]

This song is a profound memory of my childhood. My mother used to sing it to my brothers and I, it was her lullaby to us at bedtime. Of all the renditions of this song, Jim Ed Brown comes closest to my mothers tempo. Hearing this song, still brings peace to my soul and tears to my eyes. Sorry to see that Jim Ed Brown has passed. Bravo Jim ! Thanks Mom, for singing this song to us, we'll always remember.

[@kenchailland3610]

Love his smooth voice. He is truly missed. Thanks for posting these videos, it gives us a chance to hear REAL country music.

[@maryburdett5977]

That's the truth.

[@TheSkyghost1]

I have always liked the Browns and other groups that go back into history and do some old songs> the Old Lamplighter is a favorite and has been. It goes back to 1946 and that is not really that old but the story it tells cannot fail to remind us 60's people of going parking at night. I love the song and hope it lives on for ever. I also love Jim Ed Brown's version of the song. He had himself winner with this song.

[@nakima61]

We've always loved this song, still have the LP and play it often. Thanks Jim Ed Brown for your lovely singing.

[@drbombay91765]

Just great. The song reminds me of my parents and our old neighborhood. I can't even say why. It just does. Mr. Brown was a fine singer.

[@jeffreytobias6982]

Jim Ed Brown's vocals had not diminished at all. His voice here is so soothing and calming, almost healing!

[@marialiglesias1699]

So true. His voice got better as he aged...soothing and calming indeed. Just like that of Jim Reeves.

[@drbombay91765]

I listen to this often..it's a comfort to me. It reminds me of my parents when they were young, back in the early 1960s. Golden days indeed.

[@leslieholman3121]

He's one smooth singer, he just made my whole day much better. Funny how when my day seemed to be going down hill fast I finish it out with this song, the first time I ever heard it and it just made me so relaxed.

[@drbombay91765]

So sentimental and lovely... thank you, Jim Ed and your sisters.

[@judefernando9139]

My dad used to sing this very often but so long ago!

[@algs229635]

He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow The old lamplighter Of long, long ago You'd hear the patter of his feet As he came toddling down the street His smile would cheer a lonely heart you see If there were sweethearts in the park He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark Remembering the days that used to be For he recalled when things were new He loved someone who loved him too Who walks with him alone in memories He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow The old lamplighter Of long, long ago Now if you look up in the sky You'll understand the reason why The little stars at night are all aglow He turns them on when night is near He turns them off when dawn is here The little man we left so long ago He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter of long, long ago

[@russ5024]

He sang ballads that few others artists today can match, from an era in music that people seem to be forgetting.

[@alababy1939]
