Lyrics:

May you never lay your head down without a hat to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
May you never lose your temper if you get in a barroom fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Well you’re just like a big strong brother to me
And I know that your love is true
And you never talk dirty behind my back
It’s something you just wouldn’t do
So please won’t you please won’t you bear in mind
Love is a lesson you learn in a hard time
Please won’t you please bear it in mind for me
May you never lay your head down without a hat to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
May you never lose your temper if you get in a barroom fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Well you’re just like a beautiful sister to me
And I know that your love is true
And you hold no blade to stab my back
That’s something you just wouldn’t do
So please won’t you please won’t you bear in mind
Love is a lesson you learn in a hard time
Please won’t you please bear it in mind for me

May you never lay your head down without a hat to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
May you never lose your temper if you get in a barroom fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
