Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay down, my dear brother
Lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Goodnight
I bid you goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Goodnight
[Verse 2]
Lay down, my dear brother
Lay down and take your rest
I want to lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Goodnight
I bid you goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight (Goodnight)
(Goodnight)
I'll be pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Go walkin' in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight (Ooh)
His rod and his staff gonna comfort me, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Joan the wise, set her soul on fire, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Lord sent a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
To Eve for the Ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight
She really loaded down gettin' water to float, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
Now wait for the beast at the end of the world, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
He know all the children that would not be good, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight ()
I remember right well, I remember right well, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
I went walkin' to Jerusalem just like John, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
[Verse 3]
Lay down, my dear brother
Lay down and take your rest
I wanna lay your head upon your Savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you best
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Goodnight, goodnight)
(Oh, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
Oh (Oh, goodnight, goodnight)
Oh I, oh, oh (Oh goodnight, goodnight)
Oh, ooh, ooh (Goodnight, goodnight)
