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
Don't you weep pretty baby

Don't you weep pretty baby

She's long gone with her red shoes on

Gonna need another loving 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 loving baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Come lay your bones on the alabaster stones

And be my ever loving baby
