Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Your momma gone away and your daddys gone to stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Everybodys 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

Honey and a rock and the sugar don't stock
Gonna bring a bottle to the 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

Don't you weep pretty baby

Don't you weep pretty 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

Come on lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever lovin' baby
