ROCK MY CRADLE (Once Again)
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.
MECE MI CUNA (Una Vez Más)
Grabada por Hank Williams, Sr.
Escritores: Johnn Bond y Billy Folger
[C] Lejos de amigos y seres queridos
En medio de la tormenta, un soldado [C] yacía
Reunidos a su alrededor todos sus compañeros
Levantó la cabeza, lo escuchamos [C] decir.
Hay una [F] luz en la [C] ventana
Donde un [F] ángel desde a-[C] rriba
Suavemente [F] meció mi cuna [C] bebé
Con tanto [G7] cuidado y [C] amor.
Madre [F] querida, querida [C] madre
Aliviaría este [F] terrible [C] dolor
Si ella cantara hasta que me duerma
Mecer mi [G7] cuna una vez a-[C] más.
Bajo las palmeras esta noche está durmiendo
En una isla lejana
Aunque los años pasen en tristeza
Todavía recuerdo sus palabras hoy.
