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

May you never lose your temper, if you get hit in a barroom 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?

Love is a lesson to learn in our time

Please, won't you please 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

May you never lose your temper, if you get hit in a barroom 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?

Love is a lesson to learn in our time

Please, won't you please 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

May you never lose your temper, if you get hit in a barroom fight

May you never lose your woman overnight

May you never lose your woman overnight

May you never lose your woman overnight
