Wow, that's a bit frantic. I'll ask my Dad and find out if recognises any of the words. Thanks for looking.

Does anyone know the song to which this is the last verse?

And now my song has ended
I close my pretty eyes
And down I fell upon the ground
Never more to rise.

Ch: To m'lye, To m'lye

My Dad learned this when he was 9 in about 1929 and I'd like to learn it too.
