Don't Sleep Too Long
Lead Belly

When you lay down to sleep
Don’t you sleep too long
You can’t never tell what is goin’ on
When you lay down to sleep (long)

Please, don’t you sleep too long
Your house might catch on fire
Better wake up once in a while
Cause you can never tell what is goin’ on

She’s so good lookin’ and she don’t dress so fine
But what make(s) me love her, she’s so good and kind
She’s so good lookin’ and she don’t dress so fine
But what make(s) me love her, she’s so good and kind

You can go to bed early, and early rise
It will make you healthy, wealthy and wise
If you go to bed early, Lord, and early rise
(Yes) It will make you healthy, Lord, wealthy and wise

When you lay down to sleep
Don’t you sleep too long
You can’t never tell what is goin’ on
When you lay down to sleep (long)
Please, don’t you sleep too long

(spoken: Better wake up once in a while
Cause you can never tell what is goin’ on)
