Don't you know I love you more than life itself?
Don't you know that you're my pride?
And I would not have you walking through this world
Without me by your sideGo to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little manI'd like to keep you with me all your life
But I know I can't do that
So I must try teachin' you the wrong from right
To keep the vultures from your backGo to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little manAnd when you're dreaming you can talk to angels
So wipe the tears from your eyes
And if there's demons that try to steal your breath away
You can't believe that know my spirit will be standing by your sideYou saved me, you gave me, the greatest gift of all
Believe me, believe me, there ain't no mountain that's too tallI would gladly carry your cross for you
To take your pain away
But what I can't carry is my love for you
Beyond my dying daysSo be strong my little man
When I'm gone my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little manGo to sleep my little man
Don't you weep my little man
You got to be my little man
So don't you weep my little man
Go to sleep my little man
