The Cox Family - I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) lyrics

rate me

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
