May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold.

May you never make your bed out in the cold.



Well, you're just like a great, strong brother of mine

And I know that I love you true,

And you never talk dirty behind my back;

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.



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, 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.



Well, you're just like a great, strong brother of mine

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 lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.

May you never lose your woman overnight.
