Far away from friends and loved ones'Mid the storm, a soldier layGathered 'round him all his buddiesRaised his head, we heard him say.There's a lamp light in the windowWhere an angel from aboveGently rocked my baby cradleWith such tender care and love.Mother dearest, darlin' motherIt would ease this awful painIf she'd sing until I'm sleepin'Rock my cradle once again.'Neath the palms tonight he's sleepin'On an island far awayTho' the years pass on in sorrowI still recall his words today.REPEAT 2nd and 3rd verse.
