The Jones Family lyrics are similar to the Kristin Hersh lyrics:

What'll I Do With the Baby-O
Tradtional lyrics arranged Jones Family on From Earth to Heaven.


What'll I do with the baby-o? What'll I do with the baby-o?
What'll I do with the baby-o? She won't go to sleepy-o.
Wrap her up in calico, Wrap her up in calico,
Wrap her up in calico, throw her out the window.
What'll I do with the baby-o? What'll I do with the baby?

What'll I do with the baby-o? She won't go to sleepy-o.
Wrap her up in a tablecloth, toss her up in the stable-loft.

What'll I do with the baby-o? She won't go to sleepy-o.
Dance her north, dance her south, pour a little moonshine in her mouth.

What'll I do with the baby-o? She won't go to sleepy-o.
Every time the baby cries, poke my finger in the baby's eyes.
That's what I'll do with the baby-o. That's what I'll do with the baby!
