Far away from friends and loved ones, amidst [G] the storm a [C] soldier lay.
Gathered round him all his buddies, raised [G] his head, we heard [C] him say,
There's [F] a lamplight in [C] the window, where [F] an angel from [C]
above
Gently [F]
rocked my baby [C]
cradle with such [G]
tender care and [C]
love.
Mother [F]
dearest, darling mother, it would ease this awful [C]
pain
If she'd sing until I'm sleeping, rock my [G]
[G] cradle once [C] again.
Neath the palms tonight he's sleeping, on an island far away.
Though the years pass on in sorrow, I still [G]
recall his words [C] today.
There's [F] a lamplight in [C] the window, where [F] an angel from [C]
above
Gently [F] rocked my [C] baby cradle with [G] such tender care and [C] love.
[F] Mother dearest, [C] darling mother, it [F] would ease this [C] awful pain
If she'd sing until I'm sleeping, rock [G] my cradle once [C] again.
Gathered round him all his buddies, raised [G] his head, we heard [C] him say,
There's [F] a lamplight in [C] the window, where [F] an angel from [C]
above
