Joan Baez

Henry Russell's Last Words

Still alive but the air is getting bad

Oh how I love you Mary

I have made my peace with God

Oh how I love you Mary

You did not ask why I go down in the mine

Oh how I love you Mary

It was for the children and it was for better times

Oh how I love you Mary

Stay in America and give the give the kids a home

Oh how I love you Mary

Marry another you should not be alone

Oh how I love you Mary

We are weakening our hearts are beating fast

Oh how I love you Mary

We think about our families and we do not feel bad

Oh how I love you Mary

They will lay me in a pauper's grave

Oh how I love you Mary

Tell my father my soul is saved

Oh how I love you Mary

Meet me in heaven I'll wait for you there

Oh how I love you Mary
