go to sleep you little baby

go to sleep you little baby

your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay

don'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

your sweet little baby

your 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 her red shoes on

gonna need another loving baby

go to sleep little baby

go to sleep little 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 and lay your bones on the alpastor stones
