Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go, alright
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go, alright
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don't go
Well after you left
My baby's leaving on that midnight train
And I'm crying (2x)
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go, alright
