May You

may you never lay your head down

without a hand to hold

may you never make your bed out in the cold

your just like a great strong brother of mine

and you know that i love you true

you never talk dirty behind my back

and i know there are those that do

won't you please, won't you please

won't you bear in mind

love is a lesson to learn in our time

won't you please, won't you please

won't you bear in mind for me

Never

and your just like a good close sister me

and you know that i love you true

you hold no blade to stab me in the back

and i know that some do

won't you please, won't you please

won't you bear in mind

love is a lesson to learn time

won't you please, won't you please

won't you bear it mind for me

may you never lose your temper

if you get hit in a bar room fight

may you never lose your woman over night

may you never lay your head down

without a hand to hold

may you never make your bed out in the cold

I'd Rather Be The Devil

i'd rather be the devil

and i will leave my woman's? mane?

yes, i'd rather be the devil

and i will leave my woman's? mane?

'cause nothing but the devil knows my baby's

nothing but the devil knows my baby's

nothing but the devil knows my baby's name

well, i laid down last night

and i was trying to take my rest

yes, i laid down last night

i was trying to take my rest

but my mind starts a-rambling

like the wild geese in the west

the woman i love

though she's evil all the time

yeah, the woman i love,

oh she's evil all the time

studies so much evil, just add it on

so much evil, just add it on

so much evil, just add it on to mine

the woman i love

i stole her from my own best friend

the woman i love

i stole her from my best friend

but i know you'll get lucky

steal her back

i know you'll get lucky

try to steal her back

i know you'll get lucky

steal her back again
