o brother where art thou? - didn 039 t leave nobody but the baby
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
o brother where art thou? - i am a man of constant sorrow
In constant sorrow all through his days
I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I bid farewell to ol' Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble,
no pleasure here on earth I've found
For in this world, I'm bound to ramble,
I have no friends to help me now.
He has no friends to help him now
It's fair thee well, my old true lover,
I never expected to see you again.
For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad,
perhaps I'll die upon this train
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
You can bury me in Sunny Valley,
For many years there I may lay.
And you will learn to love another
while I am sleeping in my grave.
While he is sleeping in his grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given,
I'll meet you on Gods golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
o brother where art thou? - in the jailhouse now
I had a friend named ramblin' Bob,
He used to steal, gamble, and rob,
He thought he was the smartest guy around.
Well, I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday,
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown.
He's in the jailhouse now,
He's in the jailhouse now,
Well, I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and shootin' dice,
He's in the jailhouse now.
(Yodeling)
Bob liked to play his poker,
Pinochle, whist, and euchre,
But shootin' dice was his favorite game.
He got throwed in jail,
With nobody to go his bail,
The judge done said that he refused the fine.
He's in the jailhouse now,
He's in the jailhouse now,
Well, I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and shootin' dice,
He's in the jailhouse now.
(Yodeling)
Well, I went out last Tuesday,
I met a girl named Susie,
I said I was the swellest guy around.
Well, we started to spendin' my money,
And she started to callin' me honey,
We took in every cabaret in town.
We're in the jailhouse now,
We're in the jailhouse now,
Well, I told that judge right to his face
"I don't like to see this place,"
We're in the jailhouse now.
