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      Before I be your dog   Before I be your dog   Before I be your dog   I get you way'd out here   And I let you walk alone      Turn your lamp down low   Turn your lamp down low   Turn your lamp down low   And I beg you all night long   Baby please don't go      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   Back to New Orleans   I beg you all night long      Before I be your dog   Before I be your dog   Before I be your dog   I get you way'd out here   And I let you walk alone      You know your man down gone   You know your man down gone   You know your man down gone   To the country farm, with all the shackles on
