lyrics

go to sleep, tiny dreamer, let your thoughts drift far away
you must slumber, you must slumber in my arms and i must pray

mother i have heard a story that our country goes to war
leave it, leave it, these are the affairs of men and nothing more

mother, mother, people say they fought a war today
leave it, leave it to the soldiers, they are young and far away

mother did i hear a rifle off against the farther shore
that was just a wild wing beating in the sky and nothing more

mother what is that great pounding, like the drum on judgment day
leave it, leave it, you must slumber in my arms and i must pray
