[VERSE 1]
Go to sleep little baby
Go to sleep little baby
Your momma’s gone away and your daddy’s gonna stay
Didn’t leave nobody but the baby
Go to sleep little baby
Go to sleep little baby
Everybody’s 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 lovin’ babe
[HOOK]
Go to sleep
Baby
Little (little) baby
Go to sleep
Baby
Little (little) baby
Go to sleep
Baby
Little (little) baby
Go to sleep
Baby
Baby
[VERSE 2]
With my love I adorn you
Sing this lullaby for you
Wrap my heart all around you
Sing this lullaby for you
[HOOK]
[VERSE 3]
Go to sleep little baby
Go to sleep little baby
Your momma’s gone away and your daddy’s gonna stay
Didn’t leave nobody but the baby
Go to sleep little baby
Go to sleep little baby
Everybody’s 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 lovin’ babe
Go to sleep little babe
Go to sleep little babe
Come lay ya bones on the alabaster stones
And be my everlovin’ baby
