[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I'll be a dog
I'll be a dog, woof
I'll be a dog kiss your way down here
When you walk along, baby, please don't go

[Chorus]
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
(Ay, ooh)
[Verse 3]
No, baby please don't leave me
Why must you go away and do this to me, baby?
I want to suffer for you, suffer, suffer!
Oh, baby, please don’t go
No!

[Bridge]
Baby
Baby
Baby
Please don't go
Please don't go
Don’t go and leave me
Please don't go
Baby
Mmm
Baby
Ah-uh-huh
Oh, don't go, ooh, don't go
Oh, don't go, ooh, don't go
Ah, don't go, don't go so slow
Oh, don't go, ooh, don't go
Why must you leave me lying on my back?
Going across the other side of the track
Found yourself a new man I know
So, baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go!
No, no, no, no!
[Outro]
Oh please, please don't leave me, ah
I don't want to be left alone, baby
Ah, don't go, don't go, don't go
No!
