I think there's a thread called name that tune. That would probably be your best bet.

The lyrics for the Dead/Joseph Spence version are:

Chorus
Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight,
goodnight)
Sing "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood
(goodnight, goodnight)
Well it ate all the children that would not be good
(goodnight, goodnight)
I remember right well, I remember right well (goodnight,
goodnight)
Walking in Jerusalem just like John (goodnight,
goodnight, goodnight)
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
(goodnight, goodnight)

[chorus]

additional lyrics
I never would ride, I never would ride (goodnight,
goodnight)
But his rod and his staff they comfort me (goodnight,
goodnight)
