Lyrics
Written by: Big Joe Williams
Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't goDown to New Orleans, you know I love you so
Before I be your dog Before I be your dog Before I be your dog I get you way'd out here, and let you walk alone
Turn your lamp down low Turn your lamp down low Turn your lamp down low I beg you all night long, baby, please don't go
You know your man down gone You know your man down gone You know your man down gone Down the country farm, with all the shackles on
You brought… You brought me way down here You brought me way down here You brought me way down here 'Bout to Rolling Forks, you treat me like a dog
Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go Baby, please don't go Down to New Orleans, I beg you all night long© BMG Rights Management, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
