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 LyricsKeeper
