Kiss me mother kiss your darling
Lay my head upon your breast
Fold your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
Through the years you've always loved me
And my life you've tried to save
But now I will slumber sweetly
In a cold and lonely grave
Now the light is swiftly fading
Brighter scenes they now do show
I am standing by the river
Angels wait to take me home
Lay my head upon your breast
Fold your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
Through the years you've always loved me
And my life you've tried to save
But now I will slumber sweetly
In a cold and lonely grave
Now the light is swiftly fading
Brighter scenes they now do show
I am standing by the river
Angels wait to take me home
