Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
<Interlude>
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
<Interlude>
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
<Interlude>
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
<Interlude>
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
well after you left
My baby's leaving
on that midnight train
And I'm crying
<Interlude>
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go yeah
<Interlude>
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
e the time and get it right
