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