Didn`t Leave Nobody But The Baby Lyrics

(With Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris)

 Thanks to jjg20@cornell.edu for these lyrics.

 

 go to sleep little babe

 go to sleep little babe

 

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

 didn't leave nobody but the baby

 

 go to sleep little babe

 go to sleep little babe

 

 everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn

 didn't leave nobody but the baby

 

 you're a sweet little babe

 you're a sweet little babe

 

 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 babe

 

 she's long gone with her red shoes on

 gonna need another loving babe

 

 go to sleep little babe

 go to sleep little babe

 

 you and me and the devil makes three

 don't need no other lovin' babe

 

 go to sleep little babe

 go to sleep little babe

 

 come lay bones on the alabaster stones

 and be my everlovin baby
