Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby

Go to sleep, you little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

Go to sleep, you little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

Your mama'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 babe)

Go to sleep, you little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

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 babe)

You're a sweet little baby

(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 baby

(Don't you weep, pretty babe)

Don't you weep, pretty baby

(Don't you weep, pretty babe)

She's long gone with her red shoes on

Gonna need another lovin' baby

Go to sleep, little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

Go to sleep, little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

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 babe)

Go to sleep, you little baby

(Go to sleep, you little babe)

Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones

And be my ever-lovin' baby
