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