Oh Brother, Where Art Thou

“I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)”
The Cox Family 3:16

Kiss me Mother , kiss your Darlin’,
Lay my head upon your breast,
Throw your loving arms around me,
I am weary, let me rest.

Seems that life is swiftly fading,
Brighter seams they do now show,
I am standing by the river,
Angels wait to take me home.

Kiss me Mother , kiss your Darlin’,
See the pain upon my brow,
I will soon be with the angels,
Fate has doomed my future now.

Through the years, you’ve always loved me,
And my life you tried to save,
But now I shall slumber sweetly,
In a deep and lonely grave.
