Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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?
[Verse 10]
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 overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
