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 barroom fight
May you never lose
your woman overnight
Well you're just like
a great strong sister to me
And I know that your love is true
And you hold no blade
for to stab me in my back
I know that
there's some that do
So 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
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
May you never lose
your temper
if you get hit
in a barroom fight
May you never lose
your woman overnight
Well you're just like a
great strong brother to me
And I know that your love is true
And you never talk dirty
behind my back
I know that there's some that do
So 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
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
May you never lose
your temper
if you get hit
in a barroom fight
May you never lose
your woman overnight
May you never lose
your woman overnight
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 hit
in a barroom fight
May you never lose
your woman overnight
