Kiss me, mother, kiss your darling
Lay my head upon your breast
Fold your loving arms around me
I am weary, let me rest
Seems the light is swiftly fading
Brighter seams, they now do show
I am standing by the river
Angels wait to take me 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
