Henry Russell's Last Words Lyrics - Day After Tomorrow - Joan Baez

Still alive but air is getting bad. Oh how I love you, Mary. 

Dear father, I will be going soon. We are just cold and when the air comes it will be bad as we are on the return side. Will meet you all in heaven. We are going to heaven. We have plenty of time to make peace with the Lord. H Russell 

I will soon be going to leave this world. Stay in America and give kids a home and marry again if you have a notion but God bless you and the kids. HR 

Dear Mary, tell father I was saved. Also the Erskines. We don't feel any pain. Try and stay in the USA. Love to the kids. H Russell 

Diana Jones's lyrics to 'Henry Russell's Last Words' (excerpt) 

Still alive, but the air is getting bad 

Oh how I love you Mary ain repeated after each line) 

I have made my peace with God 

You did not ask why I go down in the mine 

It was for the children, it was for better times 

Stay in America and give the kids a home 

Marry another, you should not be alone 

They will lay me in a pauper's grave 

Tell my father my soul is saved 

Meet me in heaven, I'll wait for you there 

Oh how I love you Mary
