Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now baby, please

Now baby, please

Now baby, please

I'll be your man and

Yeah

I'll be your man

He left the county for me

Had his shackles on, now baby please

[Verse 2]

Little children were cryin', they were sayin'

You got me way

You got me way down

Not for a bit

Don't go, baby

You gotta go take me with you when you go

[Verse 3]

What you say, guitar?

I wanna hear you good and clear now

That's right

One more time

[Verse 4]

Baby, please

Now baby, please

Now baby, please
