Key of C 
Chords A Am F C G   

[A] When the song of the toilers is done 
 and we watch all alone, little [G] one 
 [C] sleep till the [F] grey of the 
[C] fast dawning [F] day 
 is aglow with the kiss of the [A] sun. 
 So we'll wonder in dreamland astray  
while the tears in my heart pass [Am] away  
[F] Allah watch [C] over thee!

[A] Litttle son when thou comest to be
straight and strong as the stem of a [G] tree
[C] then shalt thou [F] know
[C] why my tears ever [F] flow
and my heart clingeth closely to [A] thee
when thou girdest thy sword to thy side 
shalt thou learn how thy brave father [Am] died
[F] Allah watch [C] over thee
