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

When the man done gone, when the man done gone
When the man done gone down the county farm
He got the shackles on, baby, please don't go, don't leave me
Baby, please don't go

I'll be a dog, I'll be a dog, I'll be a dog
Kiss your way down here when you walk along
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
