Rhiannon Giddens Lyrics

"Baby Boy"

Baby boy, baby boy, don't you weep
Baby boy, baby boy, don't you weep
You will be our savior
But until then, go to sleep

Young man, young man, I'll watch over you
Young man, young man, I'll watch over you
While you lead our people to the promised land
I will shelter you

Baby boy (Young man)
Baby boy (Young man)
Don't you weep
(I will watch over you)
Baby boy (Young man)
Baby boy (Young man)
Don't you weep
(I will watch over you)
You will be (You will be)
Our savior
But until then, go to sleep

Beloved, beloved, I will stand by you
Beloved, beloved, I will stand by you
When you leave this place to do what you must
I will always love you

Baby boy (Young man) Beloved
Baby boy (Young man) Beloved
Don't you weep
(I will watch over you)
I will stand by you
Baby boy (Young man) Beloved
Baby boy (Young man) Beloved
Don't you weep
(I will watch over you)
I will stand by you
You will be (You will be)
Our savior
But until then, go to sleep

The New Basement Tapes - "Lost On The River #20" The tears of a woman are hidden within As she moves from one to the next, her spirit grows thin And when she falls in love with one, it's hard but it's true But it's oh so much harder when that man...
