Mother's Prayer - Eddy Arnold
The postman came and brought a letter
It was from her boy that went away
She gave him up to join the colors
Each time he writes I hear her pray
Dear God watch over my boy in service
Help him win the victory there
And when this cruel old war is over
Send him home to mother's prayer
The day he left they walked together
Down to the train that took him away
She knew her boy would be a hero
Her smiling eyes just seemed to pray
Dear God watch over my boy in service
Help him win the victory there
And when this cruel old war is over
Send him home to mother's prayer
Oh soldier boy don't ever forget her
She prays to God for you each day
That harm may never overtake you
When you're fighting far away
Dear God watch over my boy in service
Help him win the victory there
And when this cruel old war is over
Send him home to mother's prayer
