Dear sweet sister release me
Save this old man agony
I've seen sunshine and I've seen rain
For such a long time I've been in pain
Brother, oh brother life's long friend
Help me 'round life's last bend
Threw up my life
You help me
Now to painless heaven
Oh release me
Life has been good
Life has been kind
When my life got tough
I did not mind
Now I'm old
Needing my death
Turn out my light
Take my last breath
Mother, oh mother
Good and kind
Leave these tired bones of pain
Far far behind
Father, oh father
All of my life you've shown
You've shown me the right direction
Please take me home
You've shown me the right direction
Please take me home
