Lyrics

By john martyn

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

May you never lose your woman overnight
May you never lose your woman overnight
