CAPO 3
Go to sleep [G]my little baby
Go to slee[Am]p my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your [Em]daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody bu[C]t the babe
[Am]The light is fading, it's the end of the day
She's lying awake, wondering if tomorrow's gonna be her friend
[G]
[Am]She's too young to understand but knows somethings wrong
Now mama has gone, an[G]d daddy's doing all that he can to recompense, oh tries his best
[Am]And out of these lonely days, she's trying t[D]o make the most
[Am]This unfamiliar place, she's trying to make [D]it home
[Am] [D]
She's working h[C]ard to get the kind of love her mama gave, oh oh oh
(CHORUS:) 2x
[G](Go to sleep my little baby), go to sleep my little baby
[Am](Go to sleep my little baby), go to sleep my little baby
Your mama's gone away and your [Em]daddy's gonna stay
Don't leave nobody but[C] the babe
Nobody
[Am]She take the pressure and she hides it away
Still wakes [G]everyday, and always sets the table for an extra place, oh place
[Am]This ain't what she chose, this it wh[D]at she's got
[Am]Hope that when she grows old, no one needs to[D] pay the cost
[Am] [D]
She's worki[C]ng hard to be the kind of girl her mama was, oh oh oh
(CHORUS:) 2x (G Am Em C)
