Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch - Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby lyrics

rate me

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Your momma's gone away<br />

And your daddy's gonna stay<br />

Didn't leave nobody but the baby<br />

<br />

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn<br />

Didn't leave nobody but the baby<br />

<br />

You're a sweet little baby<br />

You're a sweet little baby<br />

Honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop<br />

Gonna bring a bottle to the baby<br />

<br />

Don't you weep pretty baby<br />

Don't you weep pretty baby<br />

She's long gone with her red shoes on<br />

Gonna need another loving baby<br />

<br />

Go to sleep, little baby<br />

Go to sleep, little baby<br />

You and me and the devil makes three<br />

Don't need no other lovin' baby<br />

<br />

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Go to sleep, you little baby<br />

Come lay bones on the alabaster stones<br />

And be my ever lovin' baby
