White Cross on Okinawa

Performed by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys
Vocal by Tommy Duncan
Recorded October 3, 1945
Written by Wills, Johnson, Sundin

There's a White Cross Tonight on Okinawa
Under Skies of Blue,
Worldly cares are through
High above Waves the Old Star-Spangled Banner
In his Memory, She'll be True

Some Mother's Heart knows full Sorrow
Silently her Prayers cross the Foam
There's a White Cross Tonight on Okinawa
And a Gold Star in some Mother's Home
