|
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' |
|
Lay my head upon your breast |
|
Throw your loving arms around me |
|
I am weary let me rest |
|
Seems the light is swiftly fading |
|
Brighter scenes they do now show |
|
I am standing by the river |
|
Angels wait to take me home |
|
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' |
|
See the pain upon my brow |
|
While I'll soon be with the angels |
|
Fate has doomed my future now |
|
Through the years you've always loved me |
|
And my life you've tried to save |
|
But now I shall slumber sweetly |
|
In a deep and lonely grave |
|
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' |
|
Lay my head upon your breast |
|
Throw your loving arms around me |
|
I am weary let me rest |
|
I am weary let me rest |
