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