We Bid You Goodnight (Live at Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA, October 8, 1989) lyrics
by The Grateful Dead
[Intro]
Lay down, my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh, won't you lay your head upon your savior's breast
I love you, oh, but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
[Bridge]
Lay down, my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh, won't you lay your head upon your savior'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 (Said "A" for the Ark, that wonderful boat, goodnight)
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Said "B" for the beach at the end of the port)
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Well, the "E" all the children, it would not be good, goodnight)
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (I remember right well, I remember right well, goodnight)
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (Well, walking in Jerusalem just like Tom)
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
[Outro]
Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Oh, won't you lay your head upon your savior'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
