Go To Sleep

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

The light is fading it's the end of the day, she's lying awake
Wondering if tomorrow's going to be her friend
She's too young to understand but knows something's wrong
Now mama has gone, and daddy's doing all that he can to recompense
oh trys his best

And out of these lonely days, she's trying to make the most
This unfamilier place, she's trying to make it a home
She's working hard to try and get the kind of love her mama gave, oh

Chorus:
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

She takes the pressure and she hides it away
Still wakes everyday, and always sets the table for an extra place, a place

This ain't what she chose, this is what she's got
Hope that when she grows old, no one needs to pay the cost
She's working hard to be the kind of girl her mama was, oh

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
(Go to sleep my little baby)
Go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe

Your mama's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but the babe
nobody

Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Your daddy's gonna stay, your daddy's gonna stay
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep, go to sleep
