don't you weep pretty baby

Artist- Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris
Song of the day- Didn't leave nobody but the baby

Having my pediatric and labor and delivery clinical rotation, I got babies on the brain and well if I could learn how to sing this song like these three folk goddesses I think I might be able to heal every sick child in my path or at the very least stop them from crying. Besides being an excellent movie musical, the Cohen Brothers created one of the greatest soundtracks of all time in "O Brother Where Art Though?" thanks to using the powerhouses of contemporary folk icons like today's artists. This lullaby I think can calm every kind of soul, but rocking a sick, abandoned, abused or scared baby, in the hospital is when I really wish I could heal every child in my path. So to the lost soul or the one's holding them, this one's for you



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

go to sleep little babe
go to sleep little babe

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

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

go to sleep little babe
go to sleep little 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
