D5                G5         D5
         Kiss me mother, kiss your darling 
                              A5
      Lay my head upon your breast 
                   D5
      Throw your loving arms around me 
                   A5      D5
      I am weary let me rest 
        A5                        D5
      Seems my life is swiftly fading 
                                 A5
      By your sea  they do now show 
             G5               D5
      I am standing by the river 
                       A5       D5
      Angels wait to take me home 
        D5               G5         D5
      Kiss me mother, kiss your darling 
                               A5
      See their fate upon my brow 
                   D5
      While I'll soon be with the angels 
                            A5      D5
      Faith has doomed my future well 
        A5                                D5
       Through the years you've always loved me 
                                 A5
      And my life you tried to save 
                G5               D5
      But now I shall slumber sweetly 
                      A5      D5
      In a deep and lonely grave 
        D5                G5         D5
       Kiss me mother, kiss your darling 
                            A5
      Lay my head on your breast 
                   D5
      Throw your loving arms around me 
                   A5      D5
      I am weary let me rest 
                   A5      D5
      I am weary let me rest
