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

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 baby

Honey on a rock and the sugar don't stop
Gonna bring the bottle to the baby
Don't you weep pretty baby
Don't you weep pretty baby

Shes 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
