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
Baby, your mind done gone, well, your mind done gone
Well, your mind done gone, left the county farm
You had the shackles on, baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog, before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone, baby, please don't go, hey
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
Before I be your dog, before I be your dog
Before I be your dog, get you way down here
Make you walk alone, baby, please don't go
Know how I feel right now
My baby leavin' on that midnight train
And I'm cryin'
Baby, please don't go, oh 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, let's go
Before I be your dog, before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone, baby, please don't go, yeah
Alright
