[Chorus]
D G D
Kiss me mother, kiss your darlin'
D A
Lay my head upon your breast
D G D
Throw your loving arms around me
D A D
I am weary, let me rest
[Verse 1]
A D
Seems the light is swiftly fading
D A
Brighter scenes they do now show
G D
I am standing by the river
D A D
Angels wait to take me home
[Chorus]
D G D
Kiss me mother, kiss your darlin'
D A
See the pain upon my brow
D G D
While I'll soon be with the angels
D A D
Fate has doomed my future now
[Verse 2]
A D
Through the years you've always loved me
D A
And my life you've tried to save
G D
But now I shall slumber sweetly
D A D
In a deep and lonely grave
[Chorus]
D G D
Kiss me mother, kiss your darlin'
D A
Lay my head upon your breast
D G D
Throw your loving arms around me
D A D
I am weary, let me rest
D A D
I am weary, let me rest
