Go to Sleep, My Baby
From Negro Folk Rhymes, by Thomas Washington Talley, published in 1922.
Recorded on Bound to Go, sung by Tyisha Williams.
Go to sleep, the night's done come
O go to sleep, my baby
You're in my arms, you need not fear
O go to sleep, my baby
Oh, sweet baby, oh sweet baby,
Go to sleep my baby
The birds is resting in the trees,
O go to sleep, my baby
There ain't no workin' by the bees,
O go to sleep, my baby
Oh, sweet baby, Oh, sweet baby
Oh go to sleep, my baby
