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.
