May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold.
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
Well, you're just like a great, strong sister to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you hold no blade for to stab me in my back;
I know that there's some that do.
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Please, won't you please, bear it in mind for me.
May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold.
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
Well, you're just like a great, strong brother to me,
And I know that your love is true,
And you never talk dirty behind my back;
I know that there's some that do.
So please, won't you please, won't you bear it in mind:
Love is a lesson to learn in our time.
Please, won't you please, bear it in mind for me.

May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never lose your woman overnight.
May you never make your bed out in the cold.
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a barroom fight.

Nope. Wrong artist, bad arrangement. a solid 2
Aaaarrrggghhh! Who is ruining a wonderful song?
Not a patch on the late great John Martyn.
2/10 at best for Eric’s crappy effort. It lacks everything the original has.
Great Song, poor version, sung by a racist.
Check out what Clapton said in the 70s

I could never abide Clapton, and even less now that I've heard him murdering John Martyn's classic.
Count me in (5). A very, very disappointing rendition. Eric's tune is way to commercial for the class of John Martyn's original. Especially the boring auto tune drums. Sad copy! 2/10
Count me in (4)
Clapton just going through the motions - empty compared to the John Martyn version

Then, yearls later, I heard the John Martyn original. It was beau-ti-ful. Let's scrap Eric from all Rock Encyclopediae and put John Martyn back in!
Yes, this version is awful. I vote for JM original too.

I like this song a lot. I would like to hear John Martyn\'s (the writer) version as well.
An Excellent song, one of my favorites. :D

Out of respect for the original version - I just can't go below a 6.
Definitely harsh on EC for his rendition in here.
Does sound a little underwhelming IMHO
