Coming to carry, coming, sweet Mary
Lay down my body, my sins I will bare thee

Now I lay me down to sleep,
Lord, I pray my soul to keep,
When the bells a-ring out,
I'm a gonna sing out
Mama, don't you, Mama, don't you,
Mama, don't you weep no more
I know where I'm going
Got no hurry, no worry, nothing to hide

Now I lay me down to rest,
When I know I've done my best,
When my day is over,
I'll be coming over
Mama, don't you, Mama, don't you,
Mama, don't you weep no more
I know where I'm going
Got no hurry, no worry, nothing to hide

I've got nothing to hide, I'm satisfied,
Gonna rest my soul on the other side
Coming to carry, coming, sweet Mary,
Lay down my body, my sins I will bare thee
Repeat and fade
