"Baby Boy" lyrics - RHIANNON GIDDENS
[Verse 1: Rhiannon Giddens]
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
[Verse 2: Lalenja Harrington]
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
[Rhiannon Giddens & (Lalenja Harrington), Both]
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
[Verse 3: Leyla McCalla]
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
[Rhiannon Giddens & (Lalenja Harrington) & Leyla McCalla, All]
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
