• Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

    Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

    Walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    I remember right well, I remember right well (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    His rod and his staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Well it eat all the children that would not be good (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    I'm walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Walking in the valley of the shadow of death (bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)

    Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    I love you, oh but Jesus love you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
