GUEST,Judy Cook	Empty is the cradle (7)	Empty is the cradle	05 Feb 02
What can you tell me about this sentimental fragment of an 1800's song? Title, lyrics, author, tune? I found it quoted in a couple of obits (one in 1860's, one in 1897), so I'm guessing it was a well known song. I think it is probably the original for a parody I sing (also from the 1800s) called "The Donkey Song". Thanks for any help! --Judy Cook Baby left his cradle for the golden shore, o'er the silvery water he has flown; Gone to join the angels, peaceful evermore, empty is the cradle, baby's gone.".
