Didn’t Leave Nobody but the Baby

Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little baby)


Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little baby)


You’r mama’s gone away and you’r daddy’s gonna stay


Didn’t leave nobody but the baby.


Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little baby)


Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little baby)


Everybody’s gone and the cotton and the corn


Didn’t leave nobody but the baby.





You’re a sweet little baby (You’re a sweet little baby)


You’re a sweet little baby (You’re a sweet little baby)


Honey and a rock and the sugar don’t stock


Gonna bring a bottle to the baby.


Don’t you weep pretty baby (Don’t you weep pretty 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 lovin’ baby.





Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little 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)


Go to sleep you little baby (Go to sleep you little baby)


Come on lay your bones on the alabaster stones


And be my everlovin’ baby…
