NO CRIME IN RHYMIN’

Evening Prayers

Three variations on a theme.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And if I die before I’m woke,
I pray I’ll be a happy bloke.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
And if I die before I’m woke,
I pray I’m not with frivolous folk.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I’m woke,
It’s just my luck I had to croak.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I’m woke,
My dreams will all go up in smoke.
