Dainty porcelain
Red light through the window plate
That tiny, shiny shiny lantern

It's so saint to me
I could use the light to see
Your way when evening's darken

Petroleum lantern
Lovely fly, you can burn

Lighting brighter than I
Its fortune once would burn a fly
Since here so many people lyin'

It seen many years
Seen the darkness and the tears
And one day, they'll stop this crying

Petroleum lantern
Lovely fly, you can burn

Petroleum lantern
Lovely fly, you can burn

Baby don't be long
Take your broken heart along
While can, his flame will reach you
Makes you sault and sing
Dance and trample everything
There's no time for me to feel good

Petroleum lantern
Lovely fly, you can burn
