Oh go to sleep little children
The sandmans on his way

In Tupelo! Tupelo-o-o!

In a clapboard shack with a roof of tin
Where the rain came down and leaked within
D#
Tupelo-o-o! Oh Tupelo!

With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw

Saturday gives what Sunday steals
And a child is born at a brothers' heels

In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red

Mama rock your baby

And carry the burden of Tupelo
