I am weary

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
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
