Rock My Cradle Once AgainFar away from friends and loved ones'mid the storm, a soldier lay Gathered 'round him all his buddies Raised his head, we heard him say. There's a lamp light in the window Where an angel from above Gently rocked my baby cradle With such tender care and love. Mother dearest, darlin' mother It would ease this awful pain If she'd sing until I'm sleepin' Rock my cradle once again. 'neath the palms tonight he's sleepin' On an island far away Tho' the years pass on in sorrow I still recall his words today. [Repeat 2nd and 3rd verse] |
