Ive been trying to start a conversation to have him anointed a Saint. Cause thats what he was and is. Think about the True Definition of a Saint. He is one. Bid you Goodnight 😀😎
My Dad sang this to me as a child... Even as an adult he will occasionally. I now sing it to my daughter. Everytime I hear it I could smile and cry simultaneously. 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
That means you're a good human being on the planet. Music is amazing, isn't it? Art of the highest order is always good and inspirational, transcendent and good.
The type of song that you want to hear after being through a truly amazing mind blowing experience..you want something mellow and sweet, rocking, soulful and easy This is one. Thanks Mr. Spence.
Me and my bestfriend sung this at my uncle's funeral. It was his favorite song to sing to me and him when we were camping and we were just sitting around😞💔 miss u Uncle Blue July 18th,1981-May 17th, 2018
my mom used to sing this to me and my poppy (her mom) when I was younger. My poppy had Alzheimer’s but he never forgot his love for music. When he passed away, my mom sang this song at the service while my dad played guitar
My dad sang this to me growing up before bed but he changed the lyrics to “Lay down my dear -my name-“, “I love you and daddy loves you the best” (I didn’t grow up religious so he didn’t add those parts) but I still absolutely love this song regardless. Brings back really good memories
I think I was at this show - their last at the Fillmore East. I was 15. The ticket taker place a tab of acid in my mouth as he took my ticket. It was quite a night.
Is this the one from the final dead show at the Filmore East? Sang this in the back of a Paddy wagon, driver pulled over and let me go! God bless The Grateful Dead
I deadicate this song to Mad Max, Brenda and Brennan who where brutally murdered by Brenda's son on june 15, 2017 i cry myself to sleep every night. We miss you guys so much!😭😭😭
Ronald Mast I want to hit like but you can’t possibly “like” that. I’m atheist but I truly hope there is a heaven because if so they’re with Jerry now.
Father of our societal roles and perfections, hallowed be thy name. Thy world of roles of name of father come, thy name of roles be remembered and honored, on earth as it is with the cosmic fathers-roles name, where also is the cosmic chair.
Walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight) I remember right well, I remember right well (bid you goodnight, goodnight) His rod and his staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Well it eat all the children that would not be good (bid you goodnight, goodnight) His rod and staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight) Goodnight
I never cry for missing jerry. I know why people cry for jesus. I dont cry for jesus. He gives people strength. Jerry gave me strwngth more than jesus ever could. Nobody gave me gospel more than jerry did.
Prior to that it's, "Tell B for the Beast at the ending of the wood", then "well it eat all the children, that would not be good" Grow up... It's not promoting the eating of children. Quite the opposite
No it was written by the Bahamian Gospel singer Joseph Spence. Please google his name. He was Wonderful! The Great Ry Cooder recorded a lot of his tunes.
Respectfully, this particular arrangement might be attributable to Mr Spence, but it's a traditional tune, and traditional lyrics, traceable at least to the 19th century (and probably way earlier).Just three of the many sources for this:history-of-songs.wikispaces.com/The+Grateful+Deadmainlynorfolk.info/watersons/songs/sleeponbeloved.htmlbooks.google.com/books?id=QjKrCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA60&lpg=PA60&dq=is+%22and+we+bid+you+goodnight%22+traditional&source=bl&ots=sqLJrbShWo&sig=AA8C6LIoKopzwBY48AaEGwm3uO0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjYucjj8KnNAhVJGx4KHSfQB2o4ChDoAQgdMAA#v=onepage&q=is%20%22and%20we%20bid%20you%20goodnight%22%20traditional&f=false

I sang this song to my dying uncle on his death bed while he was sleeping and tears ran down his face. He loved the Grateful Dead. That night he died
Melinda Carter I literally got chills reading that. Sorry for your loss
Just beautiful.
that made me tear up ...
You gave your uncle such a gift. I'm sorry for your loss. Keep singing.
Crying as I text. God bless you.
My husband sings this to our kiddos. Maybe one day they’ll sing it back to him❤ thanks Jerry
The most stunning rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. When my little one couldn’t fall asleep last night this is what I reached for … ♥️⚡️💙
Sometimes Jerry's voice almost brings me to tears. I love the way he comes in at "walking in Jerusalem just like John"
Many many times Jerry's voice has brought me to tears - JJG was the embodiment of SOUL💚😊🎶
...miss him so.🎸🎤💕
Ive been trying to start a conversation to have him anointed a Saint. Cause thats what he was and is. Think about the True Definition of a Saint. He is one. Bid you Goodnight 😀😎
True dat. What are the other lyrics. After forty years I still can't make them out.
Thanks family! 🌅
Nobody sings a sad song like Jerry
Same here
My buddy played this for me after coming down from a mushroom trip, and it was one of the greatest moments in time
God doesn't miss
this takes me back n I used to sing this to my dog every night and he would howl along that dog was one of the only real friends I ever had.
Imagine being at an early dead show and they ended it with this! Absolute gem 💎
This is the Best version of that tune that I've heard!!!
This song makes you miss the ones who have past! My nanny will always be in are hearts!💞💕
My Dad sang this to me as a child... Even as an adult he will occasionally. I now sing it to my daughter. Everytime I hear it I could smile and cry simultaneously. 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful my dad was an original dead head saw then the first time they came to NYC, grew up the same way with him singing and playing dead
That means you're a good human being on the planet. Music is amazing, isn't it? Art of the highest order is always good and inspirational, transcendent and good.
Played as the parting song at my dad's memorial service yesterday. No dry eyes.
Arcadia Shanklin sorry for your loss!
may he rest in peace
I'm sorry for your loss. I just laid my dog down. It was the first song that came to my head. It's making things a little better at the moment
Arkady mine too
I'm sorry for your loss

Give my ma and Jerry and everyone a hug from me Robert.

R.I.P Robert Hunter.The best songwriter ever.
Apparently, "I Bid You Goodnight", is an old Bahamian tune. th-cam.com/video/65jQXHIwy00/w-d-xo.html
He didn’t write this
How could you not smile when you hear his voice?
Right!
My dad sang this to me growing up before bed but he changed the lyrics to “Lay down my dear -my name-“, “I love you and daddy loves you the best” (I didn’t grow up religious so he didn’t add those parts) but I still absolutely love this song regardless. Brings back really good memories
That’s adorable! What a good dad. I lost both parents, and found Jesus and i can attest to the fact that Jesus loves me the best out of anyone
I just sang this to my kids for the first time this evening.
My dad used to sing this to me but instead of and I bid you goodnight he would say and I kiss you goodnight
That's awesome!!!!! So sweet too!!!! Your father is awesome!!!
As a father of a five year old that moves me. Thanks.
i used to sing it to my children but i would say "goodnight my dear children"
I like that... I might have to do that for my daughter.
71... the year I was Born....Love this one!

...i think a old incredible band number or did they cover it perhaps??
I think this version was first arranged by Joseph Spence, but the original is from the 1800s.
It was in the water
Dosed
The candi man was the most obvious of all
Returned Float.
I love you O but Bbbbbbb loves you best...
😱😱😱😱EAT ALL THE CHILDREN AT 1.34 SECONDS
Prior to that it's, "Tell B for the Beast at the ending of the wood", then "well it eat all the children, that would not be good"
