Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Moddie 

Cover art for Didn't Leave Nobody But The Baby lyrics by Emmylou Harris

Not a slave song. Woman waits for baby to sleep. Then she leaves husband and baby at home sleeping in the dead of night to rendezvous with another man. That man's woman left him for someone else (red shoe reference). The first woman is making her move on him and thinks to herself that her husband is a nobody thus saying "ain't nobody (home) but the baby. You & me and the devil make three is the woman and her lover engaging in an affair.

@Moddie you are ignorant as fuck. there is literal slave code in the song. This slave lullaby has been stolen and re-written buy white women. go back and look at these lyrics and think really hard about what she just said.
