Lyrics
Mary lay me down to sleep as I begin to feel the heat Smothered in a sweaty heap down upon the floor There's not much for which I'd sell my soul - Lord knows where that will one day go It's not as if I even know why you're still at my mind's door It's lonely up here on the hill where I can see a fruitless yield I'll wear your banner on my shield without ever knowing why So Mary lay me down to sleep; I pray the Lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray my seed will take I don't know where this path will end or if I will come back again But I will always be a friend and I will not forsake It's lonely up here on the hill where I can see a fruitless yield I'll wear your banner on my shield without ever knowing why
