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
