ROCK MY CRADLE (Once Again) — текст песни (Hank Williams)

Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr.
Writer: Johnn Bond and Billy Folger

[C] Far away from friends and loved ones
`Mid the [G7] storm, a soldier [C] lay
Gathered `round him all his buddies
Raised his [G7] head, we heard him [C] say.

There`s a [F] lamp light in the [C] window
Where an [F] angel from a-[C] bove
Gently [F] rocked my baby [C] cradle
With such [G7] tender care and [C] love.

Mother [F] dearest, darlin` [C] mother
It would [F] ease this awful [C] pain
If she`d sing until I`m sleepin`
Rock my [G7] cradle once a-[C] gain.

`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.
