  1. There are four corners on my bed
    There are four Angels at my head
    One to watch me One to wash me
    One to dress me and One to carry my soul away
    Now this night Im going to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    I'll give my soul to God to take.
