Go to sleep you little babe 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 babe Go to sleep you little babe Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn Didn't leave nobody but the baby You're sweet little babe You're 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 babe Don't you weep pretty babe She's long gone with her red shoes on Gonna' need another lovin' baby Go to sleep you little babe 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 babe Go to sleep you little babe Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones And be my ever-lovin' baby
