Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
[Verse 2]
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gon' stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
[Verse 3]
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
[Verse 4]
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
[Verse 5]
You're a sweet little baby
You're a sweet little baby
You're a sweet little baby
You're a sweet little baby
[Verse 6]
Honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop
Gon' bring a bottle to the baby
[Verse 7]
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
[Verse 8]
She's long gone with the red shoes on
Gon' need another loving baby
[Verse 9]
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
Don't you weep, pretty baby
[Verse 10]
You and me, and the devil makes three
You and me, and the devil makes three
Don't need no other loving, baby
Don't need no
[Verse 11]
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
[Verse 12]
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever-loving baby
And be my ever-loving baby
