Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Your momma's gone away and your daddy's gone to stay
Didn't leave nobody but the babe
Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the babe
You're a sweet little babe
(You're a sweet little baby)
You're a sweet little babe
(You're a 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 babe
(Don't you weep, pretty baby)
Don't you weep, pretty babe
(Don't you weep, pretty baby)
You and me and the devil makes three
Don't need no other lovin' babe
Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Go to sleep, you little babe
(Go to sleep, you little baby)
Come lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my everlovin' baby
