Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Go To Sleep You Little Baby performed by the wonderfully talented Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss

"Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby" written by Alan Lomax Sidney Carter, T Bone Burnett. Gillian Howard Welch (from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack)
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"
