Rock My Cradle Once Again - Hank Williams

Recorded by hank williams, sr.

Writer: johnn bond and billy folger

far away from friends and loved ones

mid the storm, a soldier lay

Gathered round him all his buddies

Raised his head, we heard him say.

Theres a lamp light in the window

Where an angel from a- bove

Gently rocked my baby cradle

With such tender care and love.

Mother dearest, darlin mother

It would ease this awful pain

If shed sing until Im sleepin

Rock my cradle once a- gain.

neath the palms tonight hes sleepin

On an island far away

Tho the years pass on in sorrow

I still recall his words today.

Repeat 2nd and 3rd verse.
