Emmylou Harris – Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby [From O Brother, Where Art Thou?]

Go to sleep you little babe
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 babe
Go to sleep you little babe
Everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn
Didn't leave nobody but the baby

You're sweet little babe
You're 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 lovin' baby

Go to sleep you little babe
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 babe
Go to sleep you little babe
Come and lay your bones on the alabaster stones
And be my ever-lovin' baby
