Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go

All right
Before I be your dog, before I be your dog
Be your dog, get you way down here
I make you walk alone, baby, please don't go

All right!
Well, you might not talk, you might not talk
You might not talk, get the county farm
You had the shackles on, baby, please don't go

All right!

Aw, get it!

Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Well, you might not talk
You might not talk
You might not talk, get the county farm
You had the shackles on, baby, please don't go

Oooooo
The way I feel now
My baby's leaving
On that midnight train
And I'm cryin'
The way I feel right now
My baby's leavin', yeah, on that midnight train
And I'm cryin'
Oh, I'm crying
Listen here, baby

Baby, please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go

All right
Before I be your dog, be your dog
Be your dog, get you way down here
Make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
All right
Yeah!
Hey!
