    (I)
    When I lay down on my right side
    I give my soul to God to guide
    And if any evil come to me
    The Blessed Virgin may save me.
    (II)
    When I lay down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    And if any trouble comes to me
    Jesus Christ will set me free
    (III)
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on them spread
    Matthew Mark Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I be on.
