Didn't Leave Nobody

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

.

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

But 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

.

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

Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss & Emmylou Harris /// O Brother Where Art Thou

I'll Be

close your eyes
close the door
you don't have to worry any more
i'll be your baby tonight

shut the light
shut the shade
you don't have to be afraid
i'll be your baby tonight

Your Baby

well, that mockingbirds
gonna sail away
were gonna forget it
that big, fat moon
is gonna shine like a spoon
but were gonna let it
you won't regret it

Tonight

kick your shoes off
do not fear
bring that bottle over here
i'll be your baby tonight

The Christmas

chestnuts roasting on an open fire
jack frost nipping on your nose
yuletide carols being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up like eskimos

everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
can help to make the season bright
tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

Song

they know that santa's on his way
he's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
and every mother's child is going to spy
to see if reindeer really know how to fly

and so i'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
although its been said many times, many ways
a very merry christmas to you

All I Ever Get For Christmas

strings of lights above the bed
conders down in a glass of red
all i ever get for christmas is blue

saxophone on the radio
recorded forthy years ago
all i ever get for christmas is blue

i’ll be drinking down your kisses
deep into the night we’ll go stilling
under nit the star-selling, reviling

with our minds said “it’s miserable”
but the snow is so beautiful
all i ever get for christmas is blue

Is Blue

it would take a miracle
to get me out to a shopping mole
all i real want for christmas is you

when you play my song
play and show me
play it like a side of a lover raid

baby, you can solve the mystery
grab me in your arms and whisper
you miss me

bright lights on the christmas tree
thank god you are here with me
all i ever get for christmas is blue
