I Am Weary Let Me Rest Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Kiss me mother kiss your darling 

Lay my head upon your breast 

Fold your loving arms around me 

I am weary let me rest 

Through the years you've always loved me 

And my life you've tried to save 

But now I will slumber sweetly 

In a cold and lonely grave 

Now the light is swiftly fading 

Brighter scenes they now do show 

I am standing by the river 

Angels wait to take me home
