I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'

Lay my head upon your breast

Throw your loving arms around me

I am weary let me restSeems the light is swiftly fading

Brighter scenes they do now show

I am standing by the river

Angels wait to take me homeKiss me mother kiss your darlin'

See the pain upon my brow

While I'll soon be with the angels

Fate has doomed my future nowThrough 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 graveKiss me mother kiss your darlin'

Lay my head upon your breast

Throw your loving arms around me

I am weary let me rest

I am weary let me rest
