go to sleep you little baby go to sleep you little baby your momma gone away and your daddys gone to stay didn'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 don't you weep pretty baby don't you weep pretty baby shes long gone with her red shoes on gonna need another loving baby don't you weep pretty baby don't you weep pretty 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 lay your bones on the alabaster stones and be my ever loving baby
My father use to sing this to me but now I'm 11 and he's not around so I listen to this to help me sleep i know it's weird but it's the only thing I have from him besides my DNA
Thank you for this. I watched this as a teen and when I had kids as an adult I sang them this. Now they can fall asleep to it but without the shreaking vocals that I provided lmfaooo
Lol Im w a baby that conks out very quickly after this loop stars, maybe after the song plays aboutt six times. I love this bc you wouldnt think just singing would work on a baby, but it totally does. Also whrn I hear this I **wish** I could sing, omg. Um finally, I was checking the comments to see if anyone was speculatig about what this song means? Bc Im pretty sure it's one of the best ever written - totally heavenly and great for little kidds on the surface - but slightly scary if you think about it it too much? Jw if Im the only one. EDIT: eek I just looked it up and it's *worse* than I thought. I was only thinking the "baby" was maybe a woman who stepped out on her partner/father of her child. But - that's hilariously naive compared to actual analysis omgThis moves more into pure speculation, but "don't need no other loving baby" may be a veiled reference to her being unable to take care of her own children (as in All the Pretty Horses) because of being forced to caretake her master's child. EDIT: "...but "don't need no other loving baby" may be a veiled reference to her being unable to take care of her own children... because of being forced to caretake her master's child." Omg. Thats so horrible for both people involved. I seriously am fine w giving people who had to cope w those choices all the $$$ in the world. I mean to heir relatives now. That flipping sucks
go to sleep you little baby
go to sleep you little baby
your momma gone away and your daddys gone to stay
didn'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
don't you weep pretty baby
don't you weep pretty baby
shes long gone with her red shoes on
gonna need another loving baby
don't you weep pretty baby
don't you weep pretty 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 lay your bones on the alabaster stones
and be my ever loving baby
Just put my two year old to sleep with this song, in the car, as we speak. Thanks for this!
What a lifesaver with the 30 min loop. My newborn loves this song since her daddy started to sing it to her ty
Thank you so much. I would sing this to my baby in the womb. Now he listens to it every night to fall asleep.
Jhhhhhb
My husband plays this for our son and it knocks him out 😂. He will he be 5 months old soon. He played it one day and we have been playing it since.
It’s hard enough to get a baby to sleep with a 3 year old running around this helps thank you 🙏🏻
My father use to sing this to me but now I'm 11 and he's not around so I listen to this to help me sleep i know it's weird but it's the only thing I have from him besides my DNA
My husband sang this to our son while I was holding him when he was 2 days old and we both fell asleep.
Awesome track love this song
This song puts my baby out in 8 mins, every time.

Beautiful
My mom used to sing this to me when I was a baby, now I sing it to my baby brother and the kids I babysit and it works everyone
Beautiful💕
