| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Your mama’s gone away and your daddy’s gonna stay
|
| Didn’t leave nobody but the baby
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Everybody’s gone in the cotton and the corn
|
| Didn’t leave nobody but the baby
|
| You’re sweet little babe
|
| You’re sweet little babe
|
| Honey in the rock and the sugar don’t stop
|
| Gonna' bring a bottle to the baby
|
| Don’t you weep pretty babe
|
| Don’t you weep pretty babe
|
| She’s long gone with her red shoes on
|
| Gonna' need another lovin' baby
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| You and me and the Devil makes three
|
| Don’t need no other lovin' baby
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Go to sleep you little babe
|
| Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
|
| And be my ever-lovin' baby |
