"We have this lamp that they call in those days, TINNEN LAMP. People call it KITCHEN-BITCH,

and they call it cow-gut. The sodder-men make it from a little zinc. It's a open lamp, you  use

a piece a cloth to make de wick and down de bottom is like a condense cyan [condensed-milk
can], which contain de oil, an' den you light it up 'ere."                                                                      

from a Unitarian Universalist family site Song: A little more Oil in my Lamp (taught by the Reverend Ruth Gibson) A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning, A little more oil in my lamp, I pray. A little more oil in my lamp to keep it burning. Keep it burning through the night and the day. A little more love in my heart to keep me growing, A little more love in my heart I pray. A little more love in my heart to keep me growing, Keep me growing through the night and the day. A little more joy in my heart to keep me laughing. A little more joy in my heart I pray. A little more joy in my heart to keep me laughing. Keep me laughing through the night and the day. A little more peace in the world to keep it turning. A little more peace in the world I pray. A little more peace in the world to keep it turning. Keep it turning through the night and the day.
