may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
you're just like a great and strong brother of mine
and you know that i love you true
you never talk dirty behind my back
and i know that there's those that do
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
you're just like a good and close sister to me
and you know that i love you true
you hold no blade to stab me in my back
and i know that there's some that do
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
well you're just like a great and strong brother of mine
and you know that i love you true
you never talk dirty behind my back
and i know that there those that do
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind
life is a lesson to learn in our time
please won't you please won't you bear it in mind for me
may you never lose your temper
if you get hit in a bar room fight
may you never lose your woman over night
may you never lay your head down
without a hand to hold
may you never make your bed out in the cold
may you never lose your temper
if you get hit in a bar room fight
may you never lose your woman over night
may you never lose your woman over night
may you never lose your woman over night
