May You Never

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 and strong brother of mine
And 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
Life 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

Oh, you're just like a good and 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
Life 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 and strong brother of mine
And you know that I love you like I should
You never talk about me behind my back
And I know that there's times you could

Oh please, won't you please, please bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
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

May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold

Oh, please, won't you please, please won't you bear it in mind
Life is a lesson to learn in our time
Won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me?

Yeah, please won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me?
Please, please, please won't you please, won't you bear it in mind for me?
