[1] Kiss me mother [4] kiss your [1] darling
Lay my head upon your [5] breast
Fold your [4] loving arms [1] around me
I am weary [5] let me [1] rest

[5] Seems the light is swiftly [1] fading
Brighter scenes they now do [5] show
I am [4] standing by the [1] river
Angels wait [5] to take me [1] home

Kiss me mother kiss your darling
See the pain upon my brow
For I'll soon be with the angels
Faith 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 darling
Lay my head upon your breast
Fold your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
