| The light is fading I’t’s the end of the day, she’s lying awake
|
| Wondering if tommorrow’s gonna be her friend
|
| She’s too youn to understand butknowssomething’s wrong
|
| Now mama has gone, and daddy’s doing all tht he can to recompense
|
| And out of these lonely days, she’s trying to make the most
|
| This unfamiliar place, she’s trying to make it home
|
| She’s working hard to get the kind of love her mama gave, oh
|
| CHORUS:(go to sleep my little baby). |
| Go to slepp my little baby (go to sleep my
|
| little baby).Go to sleep my little beby
|
| Your mama’s gone away and your daddy’s gonna stay
|
| Don’t leave nobody but the babe
|
| She take the pressure and she hides it away
|
| Still wakes everyday, and always sets the table for an extra place
|
| This ain’t what she chose, thi it whatshe’s got
|
| Hope that when she grows old, no one needs to pay the cost
|
| She’s working hard to be the kind of girl her mama was, oh
|
| Go to sleep…
|
| Your daddy’s gonna stay…
|
| Your daddy’s gonna stay |
