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
You never talk dirty behind my back and I know that there's
those 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, 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 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 those 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, 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, you know that I love
you true
You never talk dirty behind my back and I know that there's
those 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, 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
May you never lose your temper if you get hit 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
