YouTubeMay 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 sweet and crazy brother to me
You know that I love you true
And you never talk dirty behind my back
Know that there's those who do
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, just 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 warm sister to me
You know that I love you true
You hold no blade to stab me in my back
And I know that there's those who do
Oh please won't you, please won't you bear it in mind
Life 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 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
