Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Your momma ′ s gone away and your daddy ′ s gone to stay

Didn ′ t leave nobody but the baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Everybody ′ s gone in the cotton and the corn

Didn ′ t leave nobody but the baby

You ′ re sweet little baby

You ′ re sweet little baby

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 baby

She ′ s long gone with the red shoes on

Gonna meet another lovin` baby

Go to sleep you little baby

Go to sleep you little 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 and lay your bones on the alabaster stones

And be my ever lovin` baby
