And We Bid You Goodnight (Live at Knickerbocker Arena, March 1990) Lyrics by The Grateful Dead

Dozin’ at the Knick

1990

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat
(And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
I said "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood
(Bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
Will it eat all the children? That would not be good good
(We bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
I remember right well, I remember right well
(We bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
Oh, walking in Jerusalem just like John
(We bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
Israelites stop short, come for me tonight
(We bid you goodnight, 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
