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