O Brother, Where Art Thou? movie - I am Weary (Let Me Rest) lyrics

rate me

Song by The Cox Family<br /><br>

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'<br>

Lay my head upon your breast<br>

Throw your loving arms around me<br>

I am weary let me rest<br>

<br>

Seems the light is swiftly fading<br>

Brighter scenes they do now show<br>

I am standing by the river<br>

Angels wait to take me home<br>

<br>

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'<br>

See the pain upon my brow<br>

While I'll soon be with the angels<br>

Fate has doomed my future now<br>

<br>

Through the years you've always loved me<br>

And my life you've tried to save<br>

But now I shall slumber sweetly<br>

In a deep and lonely grave<br>

<br>

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'<br>

Lay my head upon your breast<br>

Throw your loving arms around me<br>

I am weary let me rest<br>

I am weary let me rest <br>

<br>
