Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby

Your mommas 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
