A daddy's prayer
A modern interpretation of the 1918 song "A daddy's prayer" by Harold B. Freeman.
Time Period: The Great War/ WW1
Original lyrics:
A little girl sat on her father’s knee
Just at the close of day
She looked up and said,
“When I go to bed, Have I got to kneel and pray?”
And then Daddy kissed her and held her near
And a tear was in his eye
He said, “Don’t forget, brother is far away,
And you’ll pray the same as I
Bring back my wandering boy tonight
My soldier so dear to me
The boy who was once my joy and light,
The pride of my life to be
Now somewhere in France,
Mid shot and shell,
He’s fighting over there
I’m here all alone
Dear God, bring him home”
That was a Daddy’s Prayer.
The little girl thought for a time and then
Looked in her father’s eyes
She said, “I’ll pray too,
Just the same as you,
And then p’raps God will get wise!
I want to see brother come home again”
“Cause I know you’re awfully sad”
Then they knelt there alone in that cheerless home,
And she prayed beside her Dad.
