Lyrics

Winter was cold and the clothing was thin But the gentle shepherd calls the tune Oh, dear mother what shall I do First please your eyes and then your ears Jenny Exchanging love tokens say goodnight Lay down my dear sister Won't you lay and take your rest Won't you lay your head upon your saviours breast And I love you but Jesus loves you the best And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight And I bid you goodnight, goodnight One of these mornings bright and early and fine Goodnight, goodnight Not a cricket, not a spirit going to shout me on Goodnight, goodnight I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death Goodnight, goodnight And his rod and his staff they comfort me Goodnight, goodnight Oh, John the wine and he saw the sign Goodnight, goodnight Oh, John say I seen a number of signs Goodnight, goodnight Tell A for the ark that wonderful boat Goodnight, goodnight You know they built it on the land getting water to float Goodnight, goodnight Tell B for the beast at the ending of the wood Goodnight, goodnight You know it ate all the children when they wouldn't be good Goodnight, goodnight I remember quite well, I remember quite well Goodnight, goodnight When I was walking in Jerusalem just like John Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on May the long time sun shine upon you all love surrounds you And the pure light within you guide you all the way on
