Lyrics

Now, baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go back to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
Now I begged you all night long
So baby please don't go
I believe the man done gone
I believe a man has gone
An left the county home
He got the shackles on, whoa
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go back to New Orleans
Get yo' cold ice cream
Before I be yo' dog
Before I be yo' dog
I get ya way down here
I make you walk the log
'C'mere, Sonny Boy'
'Come in here, Sonny Boy!'
(Instrumental & harmonica)
You've got me way down here
You've got me way down here
You got me way down here by Rolling Fork
You treat me like a dog
Baby please don't go
(Instrumental & harmonica)
Don't call my name
Don't call my name
Don't call my name
You've got me way down here
With a ball an chain
'Beat this'
(Instrumental & harmonica)
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Back to New Orleans
(You better go back home)
~
