LYRICS

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 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.

Turn your lamp down low
You turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
I cried all night long
Baby please don't go

I begged you night before
I begged you night before
I begged you night before
Turn your lamp down low
Baby please don't go
