chorus 1:
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin / Lay my head upon your breast
Throw
your loving arms around me / I am weary let me rest
verse
1:
Seems the light is swiftly fading / Brighter scenes they do now show
I am standing by the river / Angels wait to take me home
chorus 2:
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
verse 2:
Thru th 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
