and 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 strong brother of mine
you know that i love you true
and you never talk dirty behind my back
and i know that there's those that do
oh please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
now please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind for me
and 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 good close sister to me
you know that i love you true
and you hold no blade to stab me in the back
and i know that there's some that do
oh please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
and 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 great strong brother of mine
and you know that i love you true
and you never talk dirty behind my back
and i know that there's those that do
oh please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind
love is a lesson to learn in our time
and please won't you
please won't you
bear it in mind for me
may you never lose your temper
if you get in a bar room fight
may you never lose your woman overnight
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 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
