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, please don't go

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

I'll be a dog, I'll be a dog, I'll be a dog
Kiss your way down here when you walk along
Baby, please 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

Oh please, please, don't leave me
I don't want to be left alone, baby
Oh, don't go, don't go, don't go
