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

May you never make your bed out in the cold



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

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



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

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 lose your temper if you get hit in a bar-room fight

May you never lose your woman overnight
