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

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk the log

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
About rolling fog
The treat me like their dog

Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go
Baby please don't go back to New Orleans
Because I love you so

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And I make you walk the log

You know your man done gone
You know your man done gone
You know your man done gone
Down the county farm
He got his shackles on
