Go to sleep little babe
Go to sleep little babe
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
Go to sleep little babe
Go to sleep little babe
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
You're a sweet little babe
You're a 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 loving babe
Go to sleep little babe
Go to sleep little babe
You and me and the devil makes three
Don't need no other lovin' babe
Go to sleep little babe
Go to sleep little babe
Come lay bones on the alabaster stones
And be my everlovin baby
