| Emmylou Harris – Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is an African American slave song, which was remade by Emmylou Harris. If Emmylou Harris truly understood the nature or meaning of song. She would have never rewrittten the lyrics. The oringinal song does not mention red shoes, bones nor the devil. As slaves sang and played, they used hand-clapping and foot-stamping to create rhythmic beats in the tradition of African music. Oringinal Lyrics: 1. Go to sleep (2) Go to sleep, little baby Mama gone away An' papa gone, too. Go to sleep, little baby. 2. Go to sleep (2) Go to sleep, little baby Mama gone away An' daddy, too. Go to sleep, little baby Slaves would sang this lullaby to babies or small children as their parents were sent away to work the cotton fields. |
