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
You never talk dirty behind my back
And I know there are those that do
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear in mind?
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear 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
And 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 the back
And I know that some do
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear in mind?
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear it 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
You never talk dirty behind my back
And I know there are those that do
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear in mind?
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please, won't you please
Won't you bear in mind for me?
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 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
