“Now I lay me down to sleep, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s at my feet…”
“Now I lay me down to sleep,/ A bottle of Jack (Daniel’s) at my feet./ If I die before I wake,/ Tell my friends I drank it straight” is a jocular saying that has been printed on several images. “Now I lay me down to sleep” is a classic children’s bedtime prayer.
“my saturday night: Now I lay me down to sleep a bottle of Jack Daniels at my feet if I die before I wake tell my friends I drank it straight” was posted on Twitter by GRiFF RAFF on August 17, 2009. “Now I lay me down to sleep with an empty bottle of Jack at my feet if I die before I wake tell my girls I drank it straight” was posted on Twitter by Bekki’s Bespoke Art on November 19, 2009. There have been several slight variations, and it is not known who composed the original.
“Now I lay me down to sleep. A bottle of vodka at my feet…” and “Now my friends lay me down to sleep, a fifth of whiskey down by my feet…” are related sayings.

Wikipedia: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep is a classic children’s bedtime prayer from the 18th century.
Text
Perhaps the earliest version was written by Joseph Addison in an essay appearing in The Spectator on 8 March 1711. It says:
When I lay me down to Sleep,
I recommend my self to his Care;
when I awake, I give my self up to his Direction.
A later version printed in The New England Primer goes:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my Soul to keep[;]
If I should die before I ‘wake,
I pray the Lord my Soul to take.
