Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
All right
When ya might done gone, when ya might done gone
When ya might done gone at the county farm
You got your shackles on, baby please don't go
Hey, hey
[Verse 2]
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
She come up to my room, then she make me feel all right
When ya might done gone, when ya might done gone
When ya might done gone at the county farm
You got your shackles on, baby please don't go
[Verse 3]
Way I feel right now
My baby leavin'
On that midnight train
And I feel like crying
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
All right
[Verse 4]
I thought being a dog
I thought being a dog
I thought being a dog would getcha way down here
I'll make you walk the log, baby please don't go
All right
Yeah
Hey
