Oil In My Lamp
This is a traditional song / hymn.
Version 1 is a full studio recording
Note that the second version of Copper Wires was remastered, but I can't discern any difference with this track |
Version 2 is the same recording as version 1 but with the final chord very slightly shortened, and the spoken 'heavy' removed
|
lyrics version 1
Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning
Give me oil in my lamp I pray
Oh give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning
Keep me burning 'til the break of day
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna
Sing hosanna to the king of kings
Oh sing hosanna, sing hosanna
Sing hosanna to the king
Oh give me oil in my lamp when I'm sleeping (when I'm sleeping)
Give me oil in my lamp when I wake (when I wake)
Oh give me oil in my lamp when I'm weeping (when I'm weeping)
Turn my sadness into joy each day
Oh give me help Jehovah, give me help Jehovah
Give me help Jehovah 'til the morning come
Oh give me help Jehovah, give me help Jehovah
Give me help Jehovah 'til you come
Oh give me oil in my lamp for the darkness
Oh give me oil in my lamp to light my way, yeah
Oh give me oil in my lamp for the journey
Oh keep me walking t'ward heaven's gate
Y'alright
Yeah (Cheers)
Wa-ah wa-ah-ah

Sing hosanna to the king of kings
Oh sing hosanna, sing hosanna
Sing hosanna to the king
Oh give me oil in my lamp when I'm sleeping (when I'm sleeping)
Give me oil in my lamp when I wake (when I wake)
Oh give me oil in my lamp when I'm weeping (when I'm weeping)
Turn my sadness into joy each day
Oh give me help Jehovah, give me help Jehovah
Give me help Jehovah 'til the morning come
Oh give me help Jehovah, give me help Jehovah
Give me help Jehovah 'til you come
