Lyrics
Mother's Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The postman came and brought a letter
'twas from her boy who went away
She gave him up to join the colors
Each time he writes I hear her pray
Dear God watch o'er my boy in service
Help him win his victory
and when this cruel old war is over
send him home to mother's prayer
Then came the day they walked together
To the train that took him away
She knew her boy would be a hero
Her smiling eyes just seemed to say
Now soldier boy don't e'er forget her
She prays to God for you each day
That harm may never overtake you
While you are fightin' far away
