Go to Sleep Lyrics

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 gonna be her friend
She's too young to understand but knows somethings wrong
Now mama has gone, and daddy's doing all that he can to recompense, oh tries his best
And out of these lonely days, she's trying to make the most
This unfamiliar place, she's trying to make it home
She's working hard to get the kind of love her mama gave, oh oh oh
(CHORUS:) 2x
(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
Nobody
She take the pressure and she hides it away
Still wakes everyday, and always sets the table for an extra place, oh place
This ain't what she chose, this it 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 oh oh
(CHORUS:) 2x (G Am Em C)
(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
Nobody
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
(Till End)
