Didn`t Leave Nothing But The Baby Lyrics

go to sleep you little baby

go to sleep you little baby

your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna 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



your sweet little baby

your 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 her red shoes on

gonna need another loving baby



go to sleep little baby

go to sleep little baby

you and me and the devil makes three

don't need no other loving 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 loving baby
