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

I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

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

I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

One of these mornings bright and early and soon, goodnight

Now they're pickin' up the spirit to the shore beyond, goodnight

Go walking in the valley of the shadow of death, goodnight

He's riding a staff, gonna comfort me, goodnight

Join the wise, there's a soul to find, goodnight

Lord send a fire, not a flood next time, goodnight

To leave for the ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight

She really loaded down, getting water to float, goodnight

Now pray for the beast at the ending of the world, goodnight

He loved the children that would not be good, goodnight

I remember rather well, I remember right well, goodnight

I went walking to jerusalem just like john

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest

I wanna lay your head upon your saviors breast

I love you, but jesus loves you best

I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
