Capo 4
May you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And may you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
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
[N.C.]
Love is a lesson tonight in our time
Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And may you never lose your temper
If you get hit in a bar room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Well you're just like a great strong brother to me
And I know that your love is true
And you never talk dirty behind my back
I know that there's some that do
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind
[N.C.]
Love is a lesson tonight in our time
Please, won't you please bear it in mind for me
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
And 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
