about

The closing track of the album came about when, just a few month after meeting Jerry Garcia, he passed away suddenly following his 53rd birthday.

lyrics

Lay down my dear brother
Lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast?
I love you all but Jesus loves you the best

And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Walking in Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Well I never would ride, no I never would ride
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Well his rod and his staff they comfort me
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Tell A for the ark that wonderful boat
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Tell B for the best at the ending of the wood
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Walking in Jerusalem just like John
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
I go walking through the valley of the shadow of death
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Lay down my dear brother
Lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head upon your saviors breast?
I love you all but Jesus loves you the best

And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Walking through Jerusalem, just like John
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
