Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest

 I want to lay your head upon your savior's breast

 I love you, but jesus loves you best

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest

 I want to lay your head upon your savior's breast

 I love you, but jesus loves you best

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight

 Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight

 Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight

 He's riding a staff, gonna comfort me, goodnight

 Join the wise, there's a soul to find, goodnight

 Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight

 To leave for the ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight

 She really loaded down, getting water to float, goodnight

 Now pray for the beast at the ending of the world, goodnight

 He loved the children that would not be good, goodnight

 I remember rather well, i remember right well, goodnight

 I went walking to jerusalem just like john

 Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest

 I wanna lay your head upon your saviors breast

 I love you, but jesus loves you best

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
