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, it was for better times
 Oh how I love you Mary
 Stay in America and 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
 Oh how I love you Mary
 Oh how I love you Mary
 Oh how I love you Mary
