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.
I love this song and Jim Ed Brown and his sisters sing it terrific.Why isnt todays music like the 30s,40s,50s.TIN PAN ALKLEY SONGWRITERS WERE THE BEST EVER. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
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.
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.
So sad to recognize,that Jim has passed away . Some tunes,melodies+his special way of singing+voice will always be a part of my life+soul !! Can't thank u enough for this + some great memories,which are deeply connected to ur songs !!! Thanx again for everything !!!

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
Loved it but its so depressing since when i was 5 years old i heard this song and now them and many others are now dead Peter Paul and Mary could have done this song as well but now Mary is gone....

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.
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.
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.
Jim Ed Brown's vocals had not diminished at all. His voice here is so soothing and calming, almost healing!
So true. His voice got better as he aged...soothing and calming indeed. Just like that of Jim Reeves.
We've always loved this song, still have the LP and play it often. Thanks Jim Ed Brown for your lovely singing.
What a wonderful singing voice, so smooth, so sweet. Such a meaningful lyric.
Wonderful song. If you cannot tap foot to this, your not human!

Jim Ed Brown, a terrific singer!
My dad used to sing this very often but so long ago!
Wow! Thanks Jerry, what a beautiful song! Never heard it before
He sang ballads that few others artists today can match, from an era in music that people seem to be forgetting.
another beautiful song
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
Rest In Peace Bonnie Brown Ring...
