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
