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
