White Cross on Okinara - Bob Wills, His Texas Playboys

There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa

Under skies of blue worldly cares are through

High above waves the old star-spangled banner

In his memory she’ll be true

Some mother’s heart knows full sorrow

Silently her prayers cross the foam

There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa

And a gold star in some mother’s home

There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa

Under skies of blue worldly cares are through

High above waves the old star-spangled banner

In his memory she’ll be true

Some mother’s heart knows full sorrow

Silently her prayers cross the foam

There’s a white cross tonight on Okinawa

And a gold star in some mother’s home
