This is song is a favorite of mine. It is from the "O' Brother where out though
A collection of music that made a profound impact on my life. Special thanks to the Cox
for writing such a concise and beautiful song. And for the record I think the lead
of the Cox family has one of the best voices in music today. -Nick P
I Am Weary Let Me Rest
The Cox Family
*this may be wrong key but anyways....
*Capo 3rd fret
Kiss Me mother, Kiss your Darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast
throw your loooooooving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
Seems the light is swiftly fading
Brighter scenes they do now show
Iam standing by the river
Angels waaaaait to take me home
Kiss me mooooother kiss your darlin
See the pain upon my brow
While i'll sooooon be with the angels
Fate has doooooomed my future now.
Through the yeeeeeears youve always loved me
and my liiiiiife you tried to save
but now I shall slumber sweetly
in a deeeeeep and lonely grave
Kiss me mooother Kiss your darlin
Lay my head upon your breast
throw your looooving arms around me
I am weeeeeary let me rest
I am weeeeeary let me rest.
:)
