This is a traditional (and disturbing) folktale song, sung in the first person by the father of a baby. The mother has run off with another man. He’s singing this lullaby to calm the baby; he’s preparing to poison the child as he sees no other recourse.
Didn’t Leave Nobody But The Baby Lyrics
Go to sleep, you little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Go to sleep, you little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
Go to sleep, you little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Go to sleep, you little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the baby
You're a sweet little baby
(You're a sweet little babe)
You're a sweet little baby
(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 baby
(Don't you weep, pretty babe)
Don't you weep, pretty baby
(Don't you weep, pretty babe)
She's long gone with her red shoes on
Gonna need another lovin' baby
Go to sleep, little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Go to sleep, little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
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 babe)
Go to sleep, you little baby
(Go to sleep, you little babe)
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever-lovin' baby
