[Intro]
C G7 C
[Verse 1]
C
Far away from friends and loved ones
G7 C
Mid the storm a soldier lay
Gathered round him all his buddies
G7 C
Raised his head we heard him say
[Chorus]
F C
There's a lamp light in the window
F C
Where an angel from above
F C
Gently rocked my baby cradle
G7 C
With such tender care and love
F C
Mother dearest darling mother
F C
It would ease this awful pain
If she'd sing until I'm sleeping
G7 C
Rock my cradle once again
[Verse 2]
'Neath the palms tonight he's sleeping
G7 C
On an island far away
Though the years pass on in sorrow
G7 C
I still recall his words today
[Chorus]
There's a lamp light in the window
F C
Where an angel from above
F C
Gently rocked my baby cradle
G7 C
With such tender care and love
F C
Mother dearest darling mother
F C
It would ease this awful pain
If she'd sing until I'm sleeping
G7 C
Rock my cradle once again
