Go to sleep you little baby
Go to sleep you little baby
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gone to 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
Go to sleep you little baby
You're a sweet little baby
You're a sweet little baby
Honey in the rock and the sugar won't stop
Gonna bring a bottle to the baby
Don't you weep a little baby
Don't you weep a little 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
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever lovin baby
