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
