Description:
All of the sheet music that we list is always ALL ORIGINAL and never reproduced or photocopied!
Offered here is a vintage Civil War Era large format sheet music: "Kiss Me, Mother, Ere I Die", Sung by Buckley's Serenaders, words by W. Dexter Smith, Jr., music by Frederick Buckley, Published by Henry Tolman & Co., Boston, 1863. This came from a personal bound volume and therefore has the typical, but light, left edge tiny chips - it has some light dirtiness - foxing.
1. Kiss me. mother, ere I die,—
Let me feel thy soft caressing,
Ere I in the cold grave lie,
Give me once again thy blessing,
As you blest me when a boy—
When of life’s bliss I was dreaming—
Years have wrecked those ships of joy
And no star of hope is beaming.
(Refrain) [sung after each verse]
Oh! Kiss me, mother, ere I die—
Let me feel thy soft caressing;
Ere I in the cold grave lie;
Kiss me, mother, ere I die.
CHORUS [sung after each Refrain)
Kiss our, mother, ere I die,
Once again your child caress,
Soothe, oh! soothe my dying hours, dear mother—
Kiss me, kiss me ere I die.
2. Kiss me. mother, ere I sleep,
Never more on earth awaking;—
Nay, I would not leave thee weep,—
As my soul its flight is taking.
Do not weep for me who goes
From a world of care and sorrow,
To a sweet and fast repose
Where there comes no fading morrow.
3. Kiss me. mother, ere I die,—
Sweeter far will be our meeting
Past the pearly clouds that lie
Where the sun the morn is greeting,
Then, upon my pallid brow,
Press thy loving lips with gladness,
Death is painless to me now
Thy sweet kiss hath banished sadness.
We do discount shipping costs for multiple purchases. Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I usually ship on Mondays and on Fridays except on holidays. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient. All payments from countries other than the U.S.A. must be made via paypal or an International Money Order in US Funds, ONLY - no exceptions.
