[Verse]
Lay down my brother, lay down and take your rest
Lay your head upon your savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

[Guitar solo]

[Verse]
Lay down my brother, lay down and take your rest
Lay your head upon your savior's breast
I love you, but Jesus loves you the best
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(Walking in Jerusalem, just like John)
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(I remember right well, I remember right well)
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(Walking in the valley in the shadow of death)
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(His rod and his staff shall comfort me)
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(Too late for the ark, that wonderful boat)
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(She really loaded down, getting water to flow)
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the world)
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
(Eat all the children, that would not be good)
Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
