Rock My Cradle Lyrics - Hank Williams

Far away from friends and loved ones 

'Midst 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 

Though the years pass on in sorrow 

I still recall his words today 

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
