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

Kiss me mother kiss your darling

Lay my head upon your breast

Fold your loving arms around me

I am weary let me rest

Now the light is swiftly fading

Brighter scenes they now do show

I am standing by the river

Angels wait to take me home

Kiss me mother kiss your darling

Lay my head upon your breast

Fold your loving arms around me

I am weary let me rest

Let me rest
